This collection attempts to answer the question of how do people
who are defined as outsiders create agency? How do they become
agents of change, of social, political, spiritual, and cultural
power outside of those spaces that we traditionally understand as
belonging to the powerful? The subjects in this collection vary:
authors discuss contemporary hip-hop music, early twentieth-century
literature, prison publications, post-Civil War treatment of free
African Americans, queer culture, and more. They are loosely
categorized as covering issues of race, class, gender, and
contemporary issues of technology and globalization. The common
thread in each essay is the study of how the groups have managed to
successfully use rhetoric to exert social power and establish
agency in a world that denies them privileged status. Each of these
groups' work helps to establish a constitutive rhetoric of
otherness, a contribution to a genre of Outsider Rhetoric in which
the rhetor(s) create a narrative in which they as subjects have
legitimacy as rhetors, and in which the audience is then
reconstituted to perceive this legitimacy.
