In this work for scholars and students, contributors in new materialist and decolonial rhetorics point towards the future of rhetorical scholarship on materiality. They present academic theories of posthumanism and new materialism, then challenge those theories through the lenses of traditional knowledge and Indigenous knowledge, and ask readers to question their own relationships with their scholarly practices. Contributors offer insight into their own struggles to bring about decolonial works as insiders and outsiders to Indigenous ways of knowing. Some specific subjects broached are ecological restoration and decolonization, and posthumanism, buen vivir and Zapatismo. Annotation ©2022 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
