Language and GenocideReviews'Berel Lang's superb essays on the often tricky relationships between language and ethics demonstrate that matters of moral import - whether the 'correctness' of Black English or the linguistic dimensions of genocide - can be approached in a manner that is at once philosophically rigorous and enjoyable to read.' Herbert S. Lindenberger, Stanford University 'Berel Lang is a thoughtful and though-provoking writer - civilized, lucid, and learned. Her writes about important subjects, and he stimulates one to pleased agreement and useful dissent.' Irving Howe 'No one writes with more care and decency about language than Berel Lang. (The book) maintains a high level of discrimination throughout, whether Lang is writing about gender pronouns or the Nazi genocide. It is a civilized and civilizing book.'
