This book critiques current antiracist ideology in rhetoric and composition, arguing that it inadvertently promotes a deficit-model of empowerment for both students and scholars and a "primacy of identity" that values lived experience over critical thinking.

Erec Smith is assistant professor of rhetoric and composition at York College of Pennsylvania.
