Counting Cadillacs

This set of four interlinked reflections responds to prompts by editor Armond Towns. I argue that epistemology follows from politics and communication follows from community, suggest that studies of race and communication require fresh philosophies of biology and history, and call for a rededication to our core work as scholars-to think big, analyze opacities, aim for ambitiously small targets, and carry on the great critical traditions of liberationist thought.
