Description

Jose Manuel Cortez is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Oregon.

"Disinventions illuminates a contradiction at the heart of anti- and decolonial rhetorical studies: that the search for an outside to colonial violence reinscribes the binaries it seeks to undermine. Instead, Cortez invites rhetoricians to dwell with the aporias and atopias endemic to Western colonial orders and find in them new forms of meaningful, ethical life together. This challenging, evocative book is well worth reading, especially for those invested in a politics-and rhetorical studies-otherwise." -Christa J. Olson, author of Constitutive Visions
