Oftentimes; critical examinations of oppression solely focus on one type and neglect others. In this single volume; Pierre Orelus examines the way various forms of oppression; such as racism; classism; capitalism; sexism; and linguicism (linguistic discrimination) operate and limit the life chances people; across various race; class; language; and gender lines; have. Utilizing dialogue as a form of inquiry; Pierre Orelus conducts in-depth interviews carried over the course of two years with committed social justice educators and intellectuals from different fields and foci to examine the way and the extent to which these forms of oppression have profoundly affected the subjectivity and material conditions of women; poor working-class people; queer people; students of color; female faculty and faculty of color. This book presents a novel and critical perspective on race; social class; gender; and language issues echoed through authentic; collective; and dissident voices of these educators and intellectuals.

CasperAn easy read about the sad recent history of my hometown; and the even sadder distant history that was never taught in our schools of the Latimer Mines Massacre. It's well written and an easy read; but the price seems a bit high for what is essentially a long essay.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Fantastic.
