Using critical discourse analysis and Judith Butler's theories of the performative body as a methodological and analytical lens, the book explores how a handful of American plays in the latter part of the 20th century--the works of Tony Kushner, Suzan Lori-Parks, and John Cameron Mitchell, among others-- use rhetoric in order to perform and challenge marginalizing language about groups that are not offered center stage in public and political spheres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis innovative study initiates a conversation long overdue between scholars in rhetorical and performance studies; as such, it will be essential reading for academic researchers and graduate students in the areas of rhetorical studies, performance studies, theater studies, and critical discourse analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiona (Freddie) Harris Ramsby\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Associate Professor of Rhetoric and Writing at Bloomfield College in New Jersey.
