Race, power, and language criticism

"Race, Power, and Language Criticism" is an academic book that explores the complex relationship between language, power, and race. It examines how language attitudes influence speech, social interactions, and the survival of languages. The book expands on existing research by analyzing linguistic evaluations and feedback in the Hawaiian Islands. It includes three main studies that address expectations for language use within different cultural groups, critiques of language in familial, social, educational, and professional contexts, as well as the impact of race and power on the perception of language criticism. Finally, it introduces the Receiver Model of Language Evaluation and Feedback to explain the variables that influence reactions to language criticism. The book also provides insights into future research in this area to foster a better understanding of the complex communicative interactions in multilingual and multicultural contexts.
