Review # 1 was written on 2019-02-17 00:00:00 Donald Hale This is truly one of the most important books I've read in the history of rhetoric for quite some time. Using what one might call a methodology of juxtaposition, Enoch shows how minority teachers contested dominant pedagogies by "refiguring" rhetorical education for their students. She takes three unique contexts that illustrate how both dominant pedagogies and rhetoric functioned differently in each location, though with the same purpose -- to equip students for the participation in a civic world built to either exclude or homogenize them. Enoch's book is particularly engaging, because the time span involved (1850-1920) is generally considered a desert wasteland for rhetoric and a hay day for homogenous discourse. This book will definitely inspire you to think about how your own pedagogy functions in today's contexts and will hopefully inspire other scholars to explore this part of history from other angles.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-01-22 00:00:00 Colin Bruhn Read for Engendering Rhetorical Power class. Lots of ideas to think about, but definitely a niche work.
