Leland Harper and Jennifer Kling provide a semantic solution to the discursive impasse in thinking and talking about racism, by introducing race sensitivity. This move to expand “racist, not racist, and anti-racist” is an important contribution to cognitive approaches to “white fragility.” -- Naomi Zack, Lehman College, CUNY Using the trope of dynamic disaster to characterize American racism and proposing a semantic response that does not put white people alleged to be racist on the defensive, Harper and Kling argue that linguistic enlightenment is vital for disrupting the racial status quo and securing racial progress. Defenders of racial justice, and students of the philosophy of race, will find much of value in this book. -- Derrick Darby, author of A Realistic Blacktopia
