Overview

"An updated and significantly expanded edition of McPhail's ""The Rhetoric of Racism"", this book responds to subsequent critiques and advances in scholarship. Like the earlier publication, this text looks at the rhetorical dynamics of racism - how, in addition to social and material structures and institutions, language can be a cause and facilitator of racism. Revised introductions and four chapters new to this edition add discussions of essentialism and racial difference, theories of complicity and coherence (including critical application), the theory of racism as a problem of psychiatry, and perspectives on contemporary racial discourse."
