Description

The book explores how alternative communication approaches can reshape legal meanings and outcomes to promote inclusivity, equity, and justice, using comparative and critical rhetoric. By challenging traditional norms rooted in White and Euro-centric perspectives, it introduces new rhetorical models derived from diasporic and non-Western cultures. It encourages readers to rethink their understanding of logic and rhetoric, advocating for innovative knowledge-building methods that can address and heal the law's existing structures, which often sustain privilege and power dynamics.
