Newschaser: The Rhetoric of Trump in Essays and Commentaries
Description
NEWSCHASER: The Rhetoric of Trump in Essays and Commentaries offers a rigorous, Afrocentric examination of political language during one of the most consequential periods in modern U.S. history. Edited by political scientist Daryl Taiwo Harris, Ph.D., the volume brings together leading scholars across political science, Africology, communication, education, and law to analyze how rhetoric functioned as a governing instrument during the Trump era.
Rather than centering personality or partisan spectacle, the contributors situate Trump-era discourse within longer traditions of political persuasion, racial ideology, and media performance. Essays explore themes including white nationalism, misogyny, Islamophobia, immigration rhetoric, anti-intellectualism, educational policy, and linguistic imperialism, while grounding their analyses in both contemporary data and ancient African ethical frameworks of speech.
The volume is distinguished by its methodological seriousness and historical foresight. Published during the early phase of the Trump presidency, NEWSCHASER captures real-time scholarly interpretation without sacrificing theoretical depth. Chapters function as independent academic papers, making the text especially suitable for graduate-level coursework, lecture series, and faculty research.
Collectively, the authors—among the most published African American scholars of their generation—demonstrate how political language structures public reality, authorizes policy outcomes, and disciplines civic imagination. NEWSCHASER stands as a foundational text for scholars examining rhetoric, power, and governance in the twenty-first century.
