Crafting servingness at three public emerging Hispanic-serving institutions in Texas
The Rhetoric of Americanity in the Age of Empire
This essay contextualizes and reads Albert Jeremiah Beveridge's “Government for Porto Rico” in order to discern the ways in which he crafts a rhetoric of Americanity in the Senate debate over the 1900 Foraker Act relating to Puerto Rico. Drawing from textual and archival sources, I argue that Beveridge (operating within a complex political and personal context) crafts a vision of Americanity that articulates social Darwinist commitments to Anglo-…
Pluriversality in the Histories of Rhetorics
One of the things I would like to see challenged in the “history of rhetoric” moving forward is the very notion that there is any singular version of that history. Too often, the field is crafted and understood from a modern/Western locus of enunciation that reads the history of diverse peoples and fields through a zero-point epistemology. Such a zero-point helps to anchor an identifiable “canon” that is fundamentally exclusive and exclusionary. …
Rhetoric’s rac(e/ist) problems
This introductory essay makes the case that rhetorical studies as a field and the Quarterly Journal of Speech as the journal of record for that field are racist. Racism need not imply that evildoers in pointy hoods are pulling the strings of the journal and field; indeed, the assumption that racism is rooted in the bad thoughts and deeds of intentional individuals is part of the problem and is further evidence of the field's ignorance on the subj…
Rhetoric’s “Distinguished” pitfalls
At this specific moment, the issue likely needs no introduction; but some day, years from now, it will. In June 2019, the National Communication Association (NCA) erupted in controversy when Martin

Decolonizing Imaginaries
This essay is an attempt to come to terms with the Young Lords’ popular liberation rhetoric in the church offensive. Building from Michael Calvin McGee's observation that “‘the people’ are more process than phenomenon,” I explore the ways in which the Young Lords’ craft “the people's repertory of convictions” from diverse rhetorical resources in their verbal, visual, and embodied discourse surrounding the church offensive. In highlighting such a …
Race, Coloniality, and Geo-Body Politics
This essay focuses critical attention on one way that The Garden (2008) functions as a Latin@ vernacular discourse that serves to articulate the South Central Farmers to a decolonial politics operating through a kind of “border thinking.” Delinking themselves from the modern-colonial imaginary, I argue, the South Central Farmers enact a geo-body politics of knowledge that is consistently subverted, even by supporters, vis-à-vis modern-colonial ra…
Tropicalizing East Harlem
By critically engaging various forms of cultural production/material culture in El Barrio/East Harlem, New York, this article challenges communication scholars to explore the relationship between agency and identity, expanding our theoretical understandings of rhetorical agency in Latina/o contexts. This article argues that everyday spaces evidence a tactical, tropicalized rhetorical agency that underwrites cultural citizenship in El Barrio. Casi…
The Young Lords
The Young Lords, who originated as a Chicago street gang fighting gentrification and unfair evictions in Puerto Rican neighborhoods, burgeoned into a national political movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s, with headquarters in New York City and other centers in Philadelphia, Boston, Los Angeles, and elsewhere in the northeast and southern California. Part of the original Rainbow Coalition with the Black Panthers and Young Patriots, the pol…
Trashing the System
Examining the nascent rhetoric of the Young Lords Organization's (YLO) 1969 "garbage offensive," this essay argues that the long-standing constraints on agency to which they were responding demanded an inventive rhetoric that was decolonizing both in its aim and in its form. Blending diverse forms of discourse produced an intersectional rhetoric that was qualitatively different from other movements at the time. As such, the YLO constructed a coll…
