With well-crafted, provocative questions, Pierre Orelus skillfully interviews thirteen leading social justice educators and cross-border scholars who speak candidly of personal histories, experiences in the classroom, and their views about the nature of democracy, the future of capitalism, as well as the ways race, class, gender, and language overlap in webs of oppression. Searing, revelatory, inspiring, pathbreaking, and hard-to-stop reading.

Rethinking Race, Class, Language and Gender is first and foremost a rich theoretical critique that challenges the foundations of inequality and social hierarchies within American Society. Through historical analysis, in-depth interviews, and social investigation, the author examines the connections between various forms of social injustice. The author illustrates through many examples how oppression operates in the 21st Century, and how the disadvantage fights back.

Rethinking Race, Class, Language and Gender forces us to explore how the ruling class exercises its power. It presents both an uncompromising vision and a brilliant analysis how American democracy should work.
