Beyond Affirmation inspires feminist rhetorical scholarship to shift attention from the speech and action of individual rhetors to analysis of how and with what consequence rhetorics circulate. The book considers the rise of feminist rhetorical theory and historicizes it within the political moment of the Cold War. Beyond Affirmation attends to the rhetorical legacies of the Cold War and its imperialist project, showing how sentimentality subsumed the US academy and dominant feminist rhetorical method of recovery, resulting in the creation of exceptional rhetorical figures. Demonstrating politics of recovery work, chapters offer new methods for the twenty-first century. Through distinct case studies, the authors track the rhetorical processes through which subjects establish certain gendered, raced, imperial, or national political objectives. Rebecca Dingo and Rachel C. Riedner argue that scholars must address the contexts within which social actors speak and act as well as how rhetorical agency and action can be picked up and circulated for political purposes. By forwarding a transnational feminist rhetorical analytic as an alternative to rhetorics of affirmation, Beyond Affirmation emphasizes solidarity.
