Wise's commentaries make forceful yet accessible arguments that serve to counter both white denial and complacency--two of the main obstacles to creating a more racially equitable and just society. \u003ci\u003eSpeaking Treason Fluently\u003c\/i\u003e is a superbly crafted collection of Wise's best work, which reveals the ongoing salience of race in America today and demonstrates that racial privilege is not only a real and persistent problem, but one that ultimately threatens the health and well-being of the entire society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Wise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1593762070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781593762070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Catapult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.40w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2008","brand":"Tim Wise","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985250910463,"sku":"9781593762070","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_059b217f-bbb5-4dcf-aa79-34e8e72fb68f.jpg?v=1683276453","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/speaking-treason-fluently-tim-wise-9781593762070","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
