The National Museum of the American Latino, Museal Rhetoric, and the Policeability of Latinx Communities
Public controversies involving the Smithsonian index more than simple disagreement over its contents or subject matter. As a public institution founded in and for the U.S., the Smithsonian embodies a tangled array of attitudes, ambitions, and anxieties associated with “American” identity that complicate reductive views of disputes about it. Taking up recent controversies involving the National Museum of the American Latino (NMAL), this essay illu…
Chicana/o Movement Politics, the Cold War, and the White Racial Frame
This article examines resistance to the establishment and operations of El Colegio Jacinto Treviño in the early 1970s. El Colegio, a direct outgrowth of Chicana/o movement activism as it gained notable traction across the United States in the late 1960s, was founded in the small border town of Mercedes, Texas, and, despite its short history (1970–76), is remembered as the first “Chicano” college in the United States. Yet, from its inception, it w…
Wrenching Democracy from Rhetoric
A recent surge among scholars of rhetoric seeking to refine and redefine approaches to the study of demagoguery and its rhetorical contours supplies an opportunity to raise a related yet more fundamental question: What is rhetoric’s relationship to democracy, demagoguery’s presupposed injured? Inspired by Jacques Rancière and a rereading of ancient Greek sources, this article seeks to complicate the relationship between rhetoric and democracy by …
On Anti-Violence
This article explores the relationship between rhetoric and violence by running this pairing through a corresponding couplet: rhetoric and race. Arguing for a common substrate between these two pairs of terms—coloniality—this article proposes that rhetorics of “nonviolence” are better understood as rhetorics of anti-violence
Rhetoric of Democracy in the Americas
This edited collection offers an array of essays forwarding the rhetorical work constituting the political activity of and concerning Latin America in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Although scholars have certainly interrogated Latin American experiences in the United States and across the Western Hemisphere (some of whom have contributed to this volume), I can think of no other collection in rhetorical studies that supplies the kind o…
The whiteness of LBJ’s rhetoric
Reckoning with Tlatelolco
This essay examines the cybernetic rhetoric of Dr. Arturo Rosenblueth, a cybernetician and prominent Mexican intellectual. Published in a journal reaffirming Mexico's political image in the aftermath of the Tlatelolco Massacre in 1968, his essay offered a counter to one of the government's rationales for the violence enacted against the movimiento estudiantil at Tlatelolco—the influence of el extranjero. Rosenblueth's essay evinced a mediating pa…
Revoluciónizing América
This essay locates Américan entanglements in the Mexican political trope “La Revolución” (The Revolution) by examining how it was harnessed by Mexican president Gustavo Díaz Ordaz in his 1964 inaugural address. I argue that in this speech, addressed to Mexican citizens and international audiences, Ordaz navigated accumulating (inter)national pressures by stretching the nationalist boundaries of this Mexican rhetorical form. In so doing, his addre…
Nonviolence in Context
In this essay I argue that César Chávez’s 1968 “Speech Breaking the Fast” put on display the concrete effects of a poetics of deferral, a form of rhetorical agency capable of negotiating the tensions between nonviolence and Chican@ identity. Drawing from rhetorical and Chican@ studies scholarship, I posit that Chávez’s poetics supplied an alternative to the violent turn within Chican@ activism in the latter 1960s. From my reading of the delivery …
