Notes
1 Lisa A. Flores, “Between Abundance and Marginalization: The Imperative of Racial Rhetorical Criticism,” Review of Communication 16, no. 1 (2016): 5–6.
2 A search for the term “black feminism” and its variants in the database Communication and Mass Media Complete yielded a mere 200 journal articles published between 1983 and 2018; only 15 of those were in Quarterly Journal of Speech, and seven of those were reviews. Similarly, a search for “intersectionality” resulted in over 500 article hits, but only 10 of those appeared in QJS. We agree with Flores that so much of the work on race is still outside the “canon” and institutional spaces that shape the future canon(s).
