The incident, exacerbated by Donald Trump's handling of it, highlighted the urgent need for a reevaluation of public safety and the role of law enforcement. As Floyd's death occurred during an arrest, the question of safety in society became a central concern. Some called for the defunding of law enforcement, while others questioned the very definition of safety in our communities. In his book \"Safe Space Rhetoric and Race in the Academy: A Reckoning,\" James Noel argues that national discussions about safety should not be excluded from conversations about safety in academia. Noel delves into the prevalence of safe space rhetoric in academia and demonstrates how the creation of safe spaces can address chronic institutional problems faced by various groups on campus. Through a critical examination, Noel seeks to uncover the true meaning of safety in academia, aiming to pave the way for radical possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781793655516\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Gerard Noel","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102275531002,"sku":"9781793655516","price":82.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1674225387066_book.jpg?v=1674646301","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/safe-space-rhetoric-and-race-in-the-academy-a-reckoning-9781793655516","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
