Countermemory: A Rhetoric of Resistance investigates the interdisciplinary dimensions of countermemory through a rhetorical lens by drawing upon a mixed-methodological approach that includes site-based analysis, participant observation, textual analysis, and historiography. The authors apply these approaches to physical locations such as memorial sites and museums, but also in digital spaces like music videos, tv shows, and maps to show the different ways that countermemory may exist.

Reviews for Countermemory: A Rhetoric of Resistance

""Countermemory is a book about memory (and other) practices that privilege BIPOC resistances to dominant memory structures. We need work like this. . . . Much work in memory, memorialization, and rhetoric has focused on dominant memorialization . . . attending at length and with care to resistive memory sites and practices is very important and is well executed."" --Greg Dickinson, coauthor of The Haunted West: Memory and Commemoration at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West ""Countermemory is an insightful and provocative intervention into the study of rhetoric and public memory. The concept of liberatory countermemory promises to open important new avenues for thinking about the ways communities resist and transform practices of remembrance."" --Kendall R. Phillips, editor of Framing Public Memory ""There is a lot about [Countermemory] to like . . . the writing is engaging and the project itself is important."" --Mary Stuckey is author, editor, or coeditor of twelve books, including Deplorable: The Worst Presidential Campaigns from Jefferson to Trump
