Item Black Feminist Rhetorical Praxis: The Agency of Holistic Black Women in Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and Contemporary Works(2019) McGee, Alexis; Love, Bettina; Waters, Billye Sankofa; Evans-Winters, Venus; University of Alabama TuscaloosaThis chapter critiques Lauryn Hill's debut album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, through a Black feminist and rhetorical lens. I argue that looking at Hill's album as a body of work provides a blueprint for acknowledging Black women as holistic agents of change.Item Book Review of Other People’s English: Code-Meshing, Code-Switching, and African American Literacy(2016) McGee, Alexis; University of Alabama TuscaloosaThis book review of Other People's English: Code-Meshing, Code-Switching, and African American Literacy provides an outline of this edited collection. Here, I summarize the contemporary discussions surrounding African American Language, code-switching, and code-meshing as factors impacting the classroom.Item The Language of Lemonade: The Sociolinguistic and Rhetorical Strategies of Beyoncé’s Lemonade(2019) McGee, Alexis; University of Alabama TuscaloosaThis chapter, originally published in The Lemonade Reader, argues that Beyoncé's use of language in her second visual album, Lemonade, is a rhetorical technique aligned with Black feminist rhetorics.Item Looking back, looking forward: a dialogue on "The imperative of racial rhetorical criticism"(Routledge, 2018-11-28) McGee, Alexis; Cisneros, J. David; University of Alabama Tuscaloosa; University of Illinois System; University of Illinois Urbana-ChampaignItem Speculative Sankofarration: Haunting Black Women in Contemporary Horror Fiction(2017) Brooks, Kinitra D.; McGee, Alexis; Schoellman, Stephanie; University of Alabama TuscaloosaThis co-edited article, originally published in Obsidian, details the literary work by Black women's horror and fiction. This piece is meant to set “methodological direction” for a racially gendered horror discourse. Here, we aim to displace and challenge the discursive subjectivities and praxis of Black women in contemporary horror fiction.
