Journal Title：African Journal Of Rhetoric

This maiden edition of the African Journal of Rhetoric is a collection of papers presented at the first colloquium of the African Association for Rhetoric (AAR) and papers that were later solicited from experienced researchers. This volume critically looks at the role that rhetoric plays during an impasse between Government and civil society. Some of the issues that occur in this volume range from the state of rhetorical studies in Africa to the nature and the nuanced extreme culture of protest in Africa.

 The volume also examines the activities of the different actors during protest, namely civil movements, the police, the judiciary and the executive as either sources or recipients of violent behaviour during protest. This is a multidisciplinary array of chapters and contributors. The group consists of both senior scholars and young researchers in Rhetoric, African studies, Law, Linguistics, Political Sociology, Psychology, Politics, Communication and Media Studies and Development Studies.

《非洲修辭學(xué)雜志》的首版是在非洲修辭學(xué)協(xié)會(huì)（AAR）第一次學(xué)術(shù)討論會(huì)上發(fā)表的論文集，以及后來(lái)從經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的研究人員那里征求的論文集。本書批判性地審視了修辭在政府和民間社會(huì)陷入僵局期間所發(fā)揮的作用。本書中出現(xiàn)的一些問(wèn)題涵蓋了從非洲修辭研究的現(xiàn)狀到非洲抗議的性質(zhì)和微妙的極端文化。該卷還考察了抗議期間不同行為者的活動(dòng)，即民間運(yùn)動(dòng)、警察、司法和行政部門作為抗議期間暴力行為的來(lái)源或接受者。這是一系列多學(xué)科的章節(jié)和貢獻(xiàn)者。該小組由修辭學(xué)、非洲研究、法律、語(yǔ)言學(xué)、政治社會(huì)學(xué)、心理學(xué)、政治學(xué)、傳播與媒體研究以及發(fā)展研究領(lǐng)域的高級(jí)學(xué)者和年輕研究人員組成。
