Tracing elements of racial consciousness in the works of Frederick Douglass, Charles Chesnutt, W. E. B. DuBois, Zora Neale Hurston, and others, David G. Holmes urges a revisiting of narratives from this period to strengthen and advance notions about racialized writing and to shape contemporary composition pedagogies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePointing to the intersection of African American identity, literature, and rhetoric, \u003ci\u003eRevisiting Racialized Voice\u003c\/i\u003e begins to construct rhetorically workable yet ideologically flexible definitions of black voice. Holmes maintains that political pressure to embrace“color blindness” endangers scholars’ ability to uncover links between racialized discourses of the past and those of the present, and he calls instead for a reassessment of the material realities and theoretical assumptions race represents and with which it has been associated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129179652336,"sku":"9780809387595","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780809387595_p0.jpg?v=1763745771","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780809387595","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
