About this title

Synopsis

The 'R' Word explores a changing country in a changing world, and our relationship with notions of race and racism, examining a paradox at the heart of anti-racism. By adopting the language of the oppressor to liberate the oppressed, are we paralyzing ourselves with the language inherited from raciology, race, and racism? Is it yet possible to step out of our skins and leave the color behind?
