Erec Smith claims that empowerment theorywhich promotes individual, communal, and strategic efficacyis missing from most antiracist initiatives, which instead often abide by what Smith refers to as a primacy of identity: an over-reliance on identity, particularly a victimized identity, to establish ethos. Scholars of rhetoric, composition, communication, and critical race theory will find this book particularly useful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Something “More Than a Negro”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: The Primacy of Identity: Prefiguration, The Sacred Victim, and the Semblance of Empowerment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: So What is Empowerment?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Disempowerment and Code-meshing Pedagogy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: The “Soft Bigotry” of Antiracist Pedagogy: Victims, Tricksters, and Protectors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: Getting Over Ourselves and Centering Empowerment \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue: Am I Overreacting?","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040858145111,"sku":"9781498590426","price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498590426.jpg?v=1750948082","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-critique-of-antiracism-in-rhetoric-and-composition-9781498590426","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
