Signs of Struggle: The Rhetorical Politics of Cultural Difference

ปกหน้า
SUNY Press, 21 ก.พ. 2002 - 149 หน้า
Synthesizing rhetorical and cultural theory, Signs of Struggle generates innovative approaches to current critical theories of difference, culture, gender, and race, sheds new light on multicultural issues, and suggests productive avenues for further exploration. Through a critical examination of the more cherished ideals of liberalism governance through negotiated consensus, tolerance, and civility West calls for the expansion of the ground rules for risky interaction that involves attention to the emotional politics of cultural difference. In an engaging and pointedly straightforward style, West encourages a more productive engagement with difference, rather than an approach that merely celebrates diversity.

หน้า 1 - Certainly there are very real differences between us of race, age, and sex. But it is not those differences between us that are separating us. It is rather our refusal to recognize those differences, and to examine the distortions which result from our misnaming them and their effects upon human behavior and expectation.
หน้า 3 - Difference must be not merely tolerated, but seen as a fund of necessary polarities between which our creativity can spark like a dialectic.
