In this essay, Alain Locke's work is read as a search for an epideictic rhetoric. Locke, through his philosophy and editorial work, helps rethink the significance of epideictic rhetoric by articulating a pluralist notion of values and accounting for competition between value-systems. He suggested that race can and should be celebrated, and that acts of celebration should use aesthetic sensibilities capable of displaying the value of race. Showing the connections between Locke's philosophy and the rhetorical tradition illustrates the value and potential of a multi-cultural citizenry and the necessity of epideictic rhetoric in producing, maintaining, and negotiating relationships within such a community. |
