Description

A Critique of Anti-racism in Rhetoric and Composition: The Semblance of Empowerment critiques current antiracist ideology in rhetoric and composition, arguing that it inadvertently promotes a deficit-model of empowerment for both students and scholars.

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.
