African American Women's Rhetoric: The Search for Dignity,
Personhood, and Honor deals with the rhetoric of African American
women from enslavement to current times, examining slave narratives
and contemporary print, music, and other media surrounding the
lives of African American women. Covering a variety of specific
women and their rhetoric within the context of a historical period,
the book provides central themes and strategic and social concerns
of African American women and their environment. It frames, in
some, cases, the rhetoric of contemporary women in politics and
other fields of prominence including Condoleeza Rice and Barbara
Lee, among others. Deborah F. Atwater explores how African women
today who engage in speech in the public sphere come from a
historical line of active women who have been outspoken in
politics, education, business, and various social contexts;
heretofore, these women have not been studied in a comprehensive
manner. Specifically, how do these African American women discuss
themselves, and more importantly how do they represent who they are
in various communities? How do these women persuade their diverse
audiences to value what they say and who they are?African American
Women's Rhetoric will be an invaluable contribution to
upper-division undergraduate and graduate courses in Rhetoric,
African American Rhetoric, History, and Women's Studies."
