Biko -
If you were a poet, a comedian, or even 45, you could get away with such 4-letter word under the guise of "poetic license", but an academic? Even some of your students would be offended. Yep, I fully concur with Gloria; you could have put the trigger word in quote or by the political correctness designation of using its initial "F..." only. However, your audacity may actually get the attention you are seeking for the book.
Good luck and congratulations on the work.

But you are right about the 'trigger word', I think that Facebook just removed that post without reading it and without asking me, Someone must have complained about the word. It is a strange world where people embrace killers as their supporters but fret about a cuss word popular in the culture.

Biko, as I said before, you should have at least used quotation marks for the f word.
