Book Review
Decolonizing Native American Rhetoric: Communicating Self-Determination
2020
Overview
Together they highlight the challenges related to articulating expressions of American Indian rhetoric, as contemporary rhetorical theory continues to be steeply rooted in Western theory and culture, and how the key to recognizing historical and ongoing examples of this articulation rests with the acknowledgment of Indigenous inherent sovereignty, as explained in the introduction. [...]the book dons a lens of decolonization to structure the discourse so readers may begin to privilege Indigenous narratives while informing themselves on pertinent issues related to our place(s) in the world. In Chapter 4, Matthew Brigham and Paul Mabrey explain the metaphorical implications of \"Homeland Security\" rhetorics produced by American Indians that reinforced notions of sovereignty and defense of the land in the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks. By using \"chrono-logics,\" rhetoric that articulates temporal relationships and how these inform our actions and ethical systems (p. 106), American Indians successfully criticized American warmongering in light of the dispossession we've suffered in the name of defending our homelands to reaffirm our agency in both the existing historical narratives and the current dominant chrono-logics, poignantly indicating that for American Indians, \"the homeland has been under attack since the 1492 colonial-terrorist invasion\" (p. 115). Morris and Schmitt use personal interviews with the Powwow Comedy Jam (PCJ) and Ladies of Native Comedy (LNC) to demonstrate Native standup comic engagement in contact zones as a space to foster cross-cultural connection.
