N*gga Theory - Jody David Armour

. .

Résumé :
Note on the title: This book is titled N*gga Theory because I do not want to encourage non-black people to say the word nigga out loud, and because I recognize that some black folk also feel uncomfortable publicly uttering the troublesome epithet. I address these concerns within. Nevertheless, this books is really titled Nigga Theory, which is what I've called my brand of Critical Race Theory for years in law review articles, lectures, documentaries, and on social media. - Jody Armour--Preceding title page.
