Language Is A Place Of Struggle

Great Quotes By People Of Color

EDITED BY TRAM NGUYEN

Brief Description:
"Language Is a Place of Struggle" is the first truly multiracial and polycultural quote book, collecting quotations from both historical and contemporary novelists and poets, activists and political leaders, and artists and musicians. With more than fifteen hundred quotations, this exceptional book covers a broad spectrum: from the role of spirituality to words inciting social change and justice; from the impact of colonization, slavery, and racism to writing on gender, sexuality, and identity. The quotes show how people of color in the United States have been shaped by various community histories, ongoing political and cultural struggles, and personal evolutions.
