Truth as White property
Donald Trump's 2016 presidential election underscored the role of "Truth" and how it functions in an epistemological relationship with conservative identity. Drawing upon Cheryl Harris's notion of "whiteness as property," this article forwards a theoretical framework of "Truth as White property" whereby Truth functions as an extension of whiteness and as a possession of whiteness. Pham is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civic Communic…
The threat of #RhetoricNotSoWhite
In the spirit of employing the “hashtag” as what Suey Park and Eunsong Kim describe as a “tool to advance conversation and disseminate tools for decolonial action,”1 I did a cursory search of Twitt
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
Drive-By Cinema’s Drive-Outs and U-Turns
From December 2012 to June 2014, the San Diego Pacific Arts Movement sponsored a participatory project known as Drive-By Cinema (DBC). Refurbishing a U-Haul truck into a mobile cinema unit, DBC visited more than 36 neighborhood sites and screened films. In this article, I revisit the DBC project and its act of mobile cinema exhibition to examine its place-based rhetorics of belonging, materiality, and history. Drawing on Michel de Certeau’s disti…

It examines the contemporary media landscape by exploring how discourse about Asian and Asian-American digital and Internet builders and inventors—specifically the creators and founders of YouTube—relies on model minority imagery even when that image does not directly align. The chapter answers the conundr…

Our Foreign President Barack Obama
This essay centers race in taking serious an often-dismissed movement, the Birthers, who question Barack Obama's citizenship and deem him as an illegitimate president. Through a historical and relational lens, I argue that the Birther rhetoric of constitutional protection relies on racial logics used in previous discourses about foreignness to delineate acceptable citizenship for the presidency and mark Obama as untrustworthy. By analyzing the Bi…
