How a sensitive approach to language can create a fairer society. Many now agree that a linguistic change is necessary for a more just society. But what exactly could this look like? And how can we succeed in expressing ourselves as sensitively and free from discrimination as possible?
In their manifesto "Power Language," Anna von Rath and Lucy Gasser raise awareness of the many stumbling blocks in communication, both in private and public debates, and question the privileges of those who dismiss the need for linguistic change. Through compelling examples, they encourage a renegotiation of our linguistic interactions—while also allowing for pragmatism. This is a book that concerns us all and broadens our perspective on the sources of injustice and discrimination. The authors provide constructive prompts for reflection and suggestions so that we can continue to communicate with one another—without the fear of expressing ourselves incorrectly and offending others.
