More about the book
The book explores the concept of a 'white' language that permeates various media, including television, radio, and the internet, as well as the speech of influential leaders. It examines how this language, both coded and explicit, shapes societal narratives and influences public perception, revealing underlying racial dynamics and power structures in communication. Through this analysis, the author sheds light on the implications of language in reinforcing or challenging systemic inequalities.
