A collection of provocative essays exploring the key social justice issues of our time – from George Floyd to antiracism to inequality and the Supreme Court. Kennedy is “among the most incisive American commentators on race” (The New York Times).
Informed by sharpness of observation and often courting controversy, deep fellow feeling, decency, and wit, Say It Loud! includes:
The George Floyd Moment: Promise and PerilIsabel Wilkerson, the Election of 2020, and Racial CasteThe Princeton Ultimatum: Antiracism Gone AwryThe Constitutional Roots of “Birtherism”Inequality and the Supreme Court“Nigger”: The Strange Career ContinuesFrederick Douglass: Everyone’s HeroRemembering Thurgood MarshallWhy Clarence Thomas Ought to Be OstracizedThe Politics of Black RespectabilityPolicing Racial Solidarity
In each essay, Kennedy is mindful of complexity, ambivalence, and paradox, and he is always stirring and enlightening. Say It Loud! is a wide-ranging summa of Randall Kennedy’s thought on the realities and imaginaries of race in America.
