Summary:

Deference is often required of the politically vulnerable: the powers and institutions who have control over their lives often come to expect deference, demand it, reward people who give it, and penalize people who don't. Aptly marshalled deference is a way of reversing the uneven flow of epistemic and political currency - whether that gets described as trust, authority, entitlement, or the salience of certain considerations, voices, and representatives. 'The Racial Politics of Listening' is about the recalcitrant aspects of racial injustice in the US, particularly those that block effective communication and practices of accountability. By centring the insights of black religious thinkers (like James Cone) and black literary figures (like Ralph Ellison), this book transforms existing literatures focused on epistemologies of race, ignorance, and social injustice
