Stephen M. Monroe's provocative study focuses on predominantly white southern universities where Old South rhetoric still reverberates, where rebel flags cast a shadow over attempts at racial harmony, school cheers reinforce racial barriers, and student yearbooks create and protect an oppressive culture of exclusion. Across the region--in college towns like Oxford, Mississippi; Athens, Georgia; and Tuscaloosa, Alabama--communities remain locked in a difficult, recursive, and inherently rhetorical struggle that wrestles with this troubling legacy. Words, images, and symbols are not merely passive artifacts of southern history, Monroe argues, but formative agents that influence human behavior and shape historical events. Drawing on research from many disciplines, including rhetoric, southern studies, history, sociology, and African American studies, Monroe develops the concept of confederate rhetoric: the collection of Old South words and symbols that have been and remain central to the identity conflicts of the South. He charts examples of such rhetoric at work in southern universities from Reconstruction to the present day. Tracing the long life and legacy of Old South words and symbols at southern universities, this book provides a detailed and nuanced analysis of the rhetorical conflicts that persist at places like the University of Mississippi and the University of Missouri. Some conflicts erupted during the civil rights movement, when the first African American students sought admission to all-white southern universities and colleges, and others are brewing now, as African Americans (and their progressive white peers) begin to cement genuine agency and voice in these communities. Tensions have been, and remain, high. Remnants of the old majority continue to recruit modern adherents. The white majoirty may be in decline by many measures, but it is also powerful and resilient, still standing guard in defense of Old South traditions. Ultimately, Monroe offers hope and optimism, contending that if words and symbols can be used to damage and divide, then words and symbols can be used to heal and unify. Racist rhetoric can be replaced by antiracist rhetoric. The old South can become new. While resisting naiÂve or facile arguments, Heritage and Hate ultimately finds the promise of progress within the tremendous power of language. -- $c From dust jacket. 610 20 $a University of Mississippi $v Case studies. 610 27 $a University of Mississippi. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00535083 650 0 $a Rhetoric $z Confederate States of America $x Influence. 650 0 $a Rhetoric $x Social aspects $z Southern States. 650 0 $a Universities and colleges $x Social aspects $z Southern States. 650 0 $a Group identity $z Southern States. 650 0 $a Collective memory $z Southern States. 650 0 $a African Americans $z Southern States $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Racism $z Southern States $x History. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Race relations. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799698 650 7 $a Collective memory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739814 650 7 $a Group identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00948442 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Racism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086616 650 7 $a Rhetoric $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01096969 650 7 $a Universities and colleges $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01161872 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 651 7 $a United States $z Confederate States of America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205435 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Creative nonfiction. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Rhetoric, culture, and social critique. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031642.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B81088A8A5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
