Book Description
Explores the possibility of a postmodern liberation rhetoric. Stull (English, Indiana U.-East) uses rhetoric to address the question of how humans can imagine better worlds when surrounded by unspeakable pain. Defines terms such as postmodern, pain, imagination, and religion, and discusses the theory and practice of four contemporary rhetoricians--postmoderns Kenneth Burke and Thomas Merton, and liberationists Paulo Freire of Brazil and Oscar Romero of El Salvador.
