There are several aspects of Black Rhetoric as a field of research and it is impossible to sum up all of its components in one article or monograph. Therefore, the essay intentionally limits the range of topoi covered from what are considered classical rhetorical observations to contemporary approaches in light of advances in social media about the field with a specific focus on the African Diaspora. Therefore this essay will focus on the relationship between some intersecting influences on the emergence of modern Black rhetoric. Specifically, the study will look at how the emergence of modern Black rhetoric engaged various ideological and socio-economic formation’s such as liberalism, the modern world system, and the digital turn early in the 21st century.

Abstract: This article examines the role of Chinese Nationalist philosophy’s influence on the development of what scholars refer to as Afro-Orientalism and African-American Rhetoric. Nationalism in this article is used as an analytical term tracing expressions of Chinese nationalism and African American nationalism. Furthermore, the article examines the transition of the Chinese revolution and its impact on Black radical rhetoric in relation to the international realpolitik. Finally, the article argues that the current politics of the modern world system is influenced by the efforts of the West and its allies to discourage the potential re-emergence of Afro-Orientalism and contain the aspirations of Africa, China, and others to influence control of the world heartland.

Sister and Brother Outsiders: The Experiences of Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Members of Historically Black Fraternities and Sororities
Authors: Natalie T. J. Tindall, Nikita Harris, Reynaldo Anderson, Matthew Hughey
Research indicates that Black sororities and fraternities (also known as Black Greek-letter organizations or BGLOs) are replete with homophobia and heterosexism. Together, these fears and ideological systems create a complex world of governed by a structure of heteronormativity. Although lesbian, gay, and bisexual people are members of BGLOs, little information exists about these members experience homophobia or sexual preference discrimination within the insular world of BGLOs. Consequently, scholars possess scant information on how these members engage in identity and visibility management strategies as lesbian, gay, or bisexual people and as active members of their BGLO. As a touchstone for analysis, this paper takes on BGLO culture as a site of marginalization for members who fall outside the implicit expectations of heteronormativity. In specific, the authors examine how gay, lesbian, and bisexual members navigate this complex and complicated setting in which they experience a simultaneous insider and outsider status within a system dedicated to strengthening fictive kinship, racial uplift, and academic achievement.
