Oftentimes, critical examinations of oppression solely focus on one
type and neglect others. In this single volume, Pierre Orelus
examines the way various forms of oppression, such as racism,
classism, capitalism, sexism, and linguicism (linguistic
discrimination) operate and limit the life chances people, across
various race, class, language, and gender lines, have. Utilizing
dialogue as a form of inquiry, Pierre Orelus conducts in-depth
interviews carried over the course of two years with committed
social justice educators and intellectuals from different fields
and foci to examine the way and the extent to which these forms of
oppression have profoundly affected the subjectivity and material
conditions of women, poor working-class people, queer people,
students of color, female faculty and faculty of color. This book
presents a novel and critical perspective on race, social class,
gender, and language issues echoed through authentic, collective,
and dissident voices of these educators and intellectuals.
