Race, Rhetoric, and Identity

Focusing on communication's role in shaping a dehumanizing African American identity, this collection of essays delves into various cultural phenomena that highlight persistent racial issues. The author critiques media distortions, explores the identity crisis within the African American community, and addresses the rhetoric surrounding education and bureaucratic exploitation. He also discusses the conflict between reason and emotion, the adaptation of African voices in European literary forms, and the ongoing debates about justice and reparations.
