A Critique of Anti-racism in Rhetoric and Composition: The Semblance of Empowerment critiques current antiracist ideology in rhetoric and composition, arguing that it inadvertently promotes a deficit-model of empowerment for both students and scholars. Erec Smith claims that empowerment theory—which promotes individual, communal, and strategic efficacy—is missing from most antiracist initiatives, which instead often abide by what Smith refers to as a "primacy of identity”: an over-reliance on identity, particularly a victimized identity, to establish ethos. Scholars of rhetoric, composition, communication, and critical race theory will find this book particularly useful.

    This is not a light read. The author does not talk down to you. Be prepared to spend some time reading and thinking.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Well Written, with Excellent Context
    Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Smith does an excellent job of contextualizing his comments in the current debate about the pedagogy of anti-racism in Rhetoric and Composition, providing the reader with a rich reading list should they wish to explore more of both sides of the main debates on linguistics, standards, empowerment, and appropriate classroom approaches in higher education.

    This is a complex topic, and Smith does not shy away from potentially controversial positions on how to best empower students to succeed, not just within Rhetoric and Composition Departments, but in the larger world and social justice movements.
