In 'Say It Loud!', Randall Kennedy scrutinizes the prevailing social justice issues of modern America through a collection of stirring essays. This book navigates the turbulent social landscape, from the milestone George Floyd moment to broader themes of antiracism, inequality, and Supreme Court dynamics. Kennedy's commentary offers an enlightened perspective, blending rigorous observation, controversial stances, and an undercurrent of empathy. Essays dive deep into racial caste as discussed by Isabel Wilkerson, the twisted paths of 'Birtherism,' and the politically charged scrutiny of public figures like Clarence Thomas. With a critical eye on the politics of Black respectability and the enforcement of racial solidarity, Kennedy's work serves as a comprehensive reflection on race in America, highlighting the complexities, ambivalences, and paradoxes that punctuate this vital discourse.
