On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was brutally killed at the hands of
the police. Amplified by Donald Trump's handling of the incident,
Floyd's death caused what some would term as a "racial reckoning"-a
reckoning that pervaded different parts of American and even
international life. As Floyd was killed during an arrest, the
matter of public safety did not escape this reckoning, prompting
some to call for the defunding of law enforcement and to question
what is truly meant by safety in society. In Safe Space Rhetoric
and Race in the Academy: A Reckoning, James Noel contends that
national discussions about safety should not be excluded from
conversations about safety in academia. Noel examines the presence
of safe space rhetoric in academia and illustrates the ways that
designating safe spaces can be a panacea for chronic institutional
problems groups on campus may face. The book unflinchingly
interrogates what it means to safe in academia in the hope to find
a starting place for radical possibility.
