rebellion and struggle against injustice.
The magic, being based in linguistic drift and nuances of meaning, was just fascinating, as a language nerd. I appreciated the footnotes. I felt it added to the scholarly feel of the book. You could ignore them if you'd rather; but if you like history and language, do read them.
Yes, there is racism in this book, as told from the eyes of those suffering it. That's part of the point of the book.
