(Or someone calls you racist, and you definitely don't agree.) But before you say anything - before the argument escalates, as it almost always does, leaving everyone upset - professor of rhetoric Patricia Roberts-Miller would like to talk to you about how we talk about race.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRoberts-Miller believes that these potentially explosive conversations are, in fact, opportunities to bring us together - if we have them constructively. In this concise, pocket-sized guide, she explains exactly how to do so: Rather than fall into the all-too-common traps of discussing personal identity, intentions, and emotions, we need to keep focused on actions. We can't assume that everyone has the same idea of racism - they don't - and so, Roberts-Miller provides a helpful working definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, \u003cem\u003eSpeaking of Race\u003c\/em\u003e teaches us to talk about racism the way an expert of rhetoric does. We may find that it makes our polarised world more eloquent - and less racist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Affirm Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47932453814508,"sku":"9781615197323","price":14.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781615197323-speaking-of-race.jpg?v=1783863324"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/patricia-roberts-miller.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
