| Inhoud: |
Inspired by Henry Louis Gates's observation that race is “the ultimate trope,” the author analyzed the metonymies used in an essay on American black-white race dynamics: Shelby Steele's “The Age of White Guilt and the Disappearance of the Black Individual.” Steele used tropes that unintentionally yet convincingly reveal a worldview at odds with his socio-political self-identification and his stated positions. While Steele's essay as a whole ostensibly calls for an end to programs treating people as masses rather than individuals, his tropes belie his overt arguments, reflecting an exceedingly binary, essentializing, and reductive vision. |
