In any conversation

In any conversation about race in America, or any public debate, words matter. How do we describe what’s happening? How do we articulate what we think is right? What words do we avoid using and why?

In his subscriber-only newsletter for The Times, the linguist and writer John McWhorter explores some of these questions. In his recent newsletters, he has looked at how the word “woke” became an insult and why our increasingly messy way of speaking isn’t so bad. He has also considered the importance of words in music, as demonstrated https://natunbanglanews.com/category/finance/ by the efforts to revive an opera about Black characters that was written by white https://natunbanglanews.com/category/science/ men.

Join John for an evening event where https://natunbanglanews.com/category/science/ he explores the evolving role of words in these aspects of our lives.
