Books in the Studies in Rhetorics & Feminisms series

In this feminist investigation into the art of preaching, Roxanne Mountford explores the relationship between bodies, space, race and gender in the rhetorical performance and American Protestant culture. She examines the strategies of three contemporary women preachers.

Arguing that rhetorical listening facilitates conscious identifications needed for cross-cultural communication, the author establishes eavesdropping, and listening pedagogically as approaches to rhetorical listening. She defines rhetorical listening, addressing identifications with gender and whiteness within public debates and pedagogy.
