and scholarly work. Instead, Speaking of Race zeroes in on the fundamentals of racism and offers a tutorial on carrying out antiracist conversations. By refuting the fallacy of taking rhetoric as “the art of tricking people with words” (3–4), the book aims to explain people’s sharp disagreements and ineffective definitions regarding racism and discusses what lessons we can learn from such pitfalls and fallacies. To this end, she clearly structures the small yet informative book into two parts, “Racism is hard to talk about” and “what to say when talking about racism.” The two chapters are further divided into 13 sub-topics and “A Final Note,” all of which contribute to the common goal of effectively carrying out antiracist conversations. 342 BOOK REVIEWS

ABSTRACT This article examines the rhetoric of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, the famous nineteenth-century choir whose domestic and international performances saved Fisk University from financial ruin, legitimized African American spirituals as high art, and offered a powerful argument for Black American citizenship during the post-Reconstruction era. While scholars have examined reactions to the choir's performances in the nineteenthcentury press, none have studied the organization's own discourse for insights into how the choir's white leaders positioned and promoted the troupe. In this essay, I recover their discourse by examining 35 extant concert programs that accompanied the Singers’ performances between 1871 and 1878. I argue that they work through a rhetorical move that I have termed paradoxical polysemy, a type of polysemy that emerges in contexts beset by ambivalence and navigates multiple, contradictory beliefs within a singular audience. Deploying appeals to the choir's “natural” musical talent that worked in two different registers, the programs negotiated white allies’ inconsistent beliefs about race, appealing both to their desire to help Black people and their wish to maintain white supremacy. Additionally, these dual appeals to the “natural” worked to help the Singers argue for the political and social inclusion of all Black Americans, regardless of their level of education.

ABSTRACT In the wake of COVID-19, the violence toward Asians has prompted many to reconsider how Asian femininity is rhetorically configured in the US racial landscape. In this article, I argue that the ongoing Othering of Asians as “perpetual foreigners” is sustained through ostensibly positive valuations of Asian feminine aesthetics, particularly related to skin texture and sexual prowess, as supplements for white bodies. The Asian feminine is most legible when enacting stereotypical embodiments that evoke sensory/sensual stimulation. Analysis of prominent discourses related to wellness and beauty products demonstrates how the rhetoric of racial supplementation, the aesthetic fetishization of racialized anatomical features as augmentation for the white consuming body, renders Asianness as most rhetorically legitimate when performing stereotypical embodiments. Beyond the one-dimensional nature of these stereotypes, they normalize the substitution of aesthetic performance for ontological motivation, which constrains the range of available opportunities for Asian and Asian American rhetors.

ABSTRACT Few figures vivify the struggle over public memory and survival as compellingly as second wave feminist Andrea Dworkin, who was a visionary and gadfly within the movement. This analysis provides an interior view of this public and often misunderstood figure as it advances a theory of archival resilience. Acting as a historical corrective, archival resilience emboldens the marginalized to interrupt the cohesive hegemonic imaginary to which they have been subjected and be active agents in producing a parallel historico-political reality through the preservation of records that center their voices and experiences on their own terms. Following Dworkin, archival resilience creates a record of marginalized lives through the 1) strategic, defiant act of valuing the self and one's community in the service of record preservation despite a hostile, disconfirming culture; 2) documentation of the multifaceted nature of survival and survival strategies used by the marginalized to illuminate the precarity of their lives; and 3) rejection of celebratory or politically “respectable” representations in favor of preserving the full picture of people and movements, even those aspects that are stigmatized or anti-heroic. Archival resilience creates a record of marginalized lives so that we can gain an appreciation of their struggle, worth, and value.

In the days after Dan ’ s death, friends, scholars, co-authors, colleagues, and students past and present posted their memories on social media. Throughout these encomia, a picture developed, captured by Damien P fi ster in an anecdote describing a tenured Dan being the entirety of the audience attending an 8:00am conference panel composed of graduate students and junior scholars. Dan was “ so unbelievably attentive, scribbling away, engaged with every fi ber. ” 1 Attend. Attentive. Their etymology: ad tendere — to stretch toward. 2 Dan stretched toward each person with whom he interacted, with each artifact he studied, with each theory he engaged. He stretched toward us, and in the process made each of us stretch — our wings, our imaginations, our horizons.
在丹去世后的几天里，朋友、学者、合著者、同事以及过去和现在的学生都在社交媒体上发布了他们的回忆。在这些欢呼声中，达米安·菲斯特(Damien P . fi .)在一则轶事中描述了这样一幅画面:在上午8点由研究生和初级学者组成的会议小组中，终身教授丹是所有听众中的一员。丹“是如此令人难以置信的专注，涂鸦，参与每一个文件。“1 .出席。细心的。它们的词源是:ad tendere—向外伸展。但向每一个与他交往的人，每一个他研究的器物，每一个他研究的理论，都伸出手来。他向我们伸展，在这个过程中，我们每个人都伸展了——我们的翅膀，我们的想象力，我们的视野。

ABSTRACT In this short essay, we read Dan Brouwer's scholarship on HIV rhetoric through the philosophical lens of hedonics, a branch of ethics that preoccupies itself with the relationship between duty and pleasure. In doing so, we draw attention to the corporeal, affective, and symbolic dimensions of pleasure inherent in his writings. We gesture toward three ethics cultivated from Brouwer's work: an ethics of legibility, of multiplicity, and of care.
