"An African Athens" offers an analysis of a new ecology of
rhetoric--the reshaping of a nation into a democracy through
rhetorical means. Author Philippe-Joseph Salazar provides a general
view of issues as they have taken shape in the apartheid and
post-apartheid South African experience, presenting the country as
a remarkable stage for playing out the great themes of public
deliberation and the rise of postmodern rhetorical democracy.
Salazar's intimate vantage point focuses on the striking case of a
democracy won at the negotiating table and also won every day in
public deliberation.
This volume presents a full-scale rhetorical analysis of a
democratic transformation in post-Cold War era, and provides a
study of the demise of apartheid and post-apartheid from the
standpoint of political and public rhetoric and communication. In
doing so, it serves as a template for similar enquiries in the
rhetorical study of emerging democracies.
Intended for readers engaged in the study of political and public
rhetoric with an interest in how democracy takes shape, "An African
Athens" highlights South Africa as a test case for global
democracy, for rhetoric, and for the relevance of rhetoric studies
in a postmodern democracy.
