Zusatztext Though taking differing approaches, the essays work together toward the same goal, which is to explore the complex relationships between language and race. Discussion of contemporary topics such as rap and hip-hop music, new media, and reality television will appeal to college students (of traditional age), and the writing style throughout the book is relatively approachable. This book is particularly valuable given the transition from Barack Obamas administration to that of Donald Trump, since presidential policies affect not only the US but also the rest of the world.
