Summary: "Most research in Critical Discourse Studies (CDS) focuses on social power abuse and not on the resistance against such domination. Similarly, most of my own earlier critical studies deal with the discursive reproduction of racism as a form of ethnic domination, and not with antiracist discourse challenging prevailing discriminatory practices and prejudice. By examining the history and some of the properties of antiracist text and talk, this book is a necessary complement to my earlier analyses of discursive racism in politics, the media and education"-- Provided by publisher
