On African-American Rhetoric traces the arc of strategic language use by African Americans from rhetorical forms such as slave narratives and the spirituals to Black digital expression and contemporary activism.

Ranging across genres and disciplines, including rhetorical theory, poetry, fiction, and memes, Gilyard and Banks consider language developments that have occurred both inside and outside of organizations and institutions.
