The Impositional Power of the Canon: Safe Spaces
Ta-Nehisi Coates:
Great canons angle toward great power, and the great privilege of great power is an incuriosity about those who lack it. That incuriosity is what afflicts the dullest critics of safe spaces and the like. But if these writers, teachers, and administrators could part with the privilege of their own ignorance, they would see that they too need safe spaces — and that, for their own sakes, they have made a safe space of nearly the entire world.
