Salt of the Earth - James Chase Sanchez - Bog

- Rhetoric, Preservation, and White Supremacy

Bag om Salt of the Earth

Salt of the Earth is an autoethnography and cultural rhetorics case study that examines white supremacy in the author's hometown of Grand Saline, Texas, a community long marred by its racist culture. Scholar and filmmaker James Chase Sanchez investigates the rhetoric of white supremacy by exploring three unique rhetorical processes-identity construction, storytelling, and silencing-as they relate to an umbrella act: the rhetoric of preservation. Ultimately, Sanchez argues that (1) we need to better understand the productions of white supremacy as a complex rhetorical act, and (2) in order to create a more well-rounded view of cultural rhetorics as a subfield, we need more analyses of the way cultures of the oppressor survive and thrive.
