Judaic perspectives in rhetoric and composition studies

Andrea Greenbaum, Deborah H. Holdstein

"Judaic Perspectives in Rhetoric and Composition is a collection that exposes the absence of Jewish rhetorical history and influence within the increasingly closed ideological boundaries of the writing classroom. This collection shatters traditional approaches to rhetorical theory and history, disturbing the hegemony of Greek and Christian thought within composition studies. Written by some of the foremost scholars in composition, this volume relies on a variety of texts (the Torah, Talmud, Kabbalah) and contexts (Holocaust studies, and Jewish liturgy) to open the door to a new scholarly and pedagogical framework, affirming and making visible previously ignored scholarship and pedagogical influences."--book jacket.
