A Companion to African Rhetoric, edited by Segun Ige, Gilbert Motsaathebe, and Omedi Ochieng, presents the reader with different perspectives on African rhetoric mostly from Anglophone sub-Saharan Africa and the Diaspora. The African, Afro-Caribbean, and African American rhetorician contributors conceptualize African rhetoric, examine African political rhetoric, analyze African rhetoric in literature, and address the connection between rhetoric and religion in Africa. They argue for a holistic view of rhetoric on the continent.
Segun Ige is visiting assistant professor of English at Howard University. Gilbert Motsaathebe is a research professor at the North-West University. Omedi Ochiengis a teacher of rhetorical theory and criticism; the rhetoric of philosophy; political theory and practice; and aesthetic praxis at Denison University.
