Challenges the traditional rhetorical canon.Alternative Rhetorics questions traditional canons of rhetorical thought, and offers new perspectives on rhetorics historically overlooked within Western culture. Along with establishing new methodologies for investigating the history of rhetorics, the book also explores rhetoric's changing relationship with technology. By challenging the reader's understanding of rhetoric and the rhetorical tradition, Alternative Rhetorics provides insights that will allow researchers, educators, and students to rethink their own position in a rhetorical world.

This book provides readers with a critical self-reflective approach to studying the impact of social, cultural, historical, political, and educational backgrounds on the acquisition of literacy. It adds to the work that values contextual approaches to studying technological literacy acquisition, acknowledges the researcher's positionalities in conducting research, and demonstrates how becoming an effective educator and researcher in a diverse society is not just a matter of acquiring information, but rather a process of personal growth and transformation.
