Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines connections between rhetoric, race, and place. Using archival research to examine Westlake Terrace, the author asks how the rhetorics of places like Westlake racialize the place and its people. The article shows that these rhetorics perpetuate the agenda of structural racism, and the material consequences of these rhetorics. It is argued that looking at the history of Westlake reveals a process of rhetorical invention that imbues the place with rhetorical and racial tensions. Attending to these moments of invention can both reveal ways that inequalities are built into places and help us work toward more equitable places.

《贫民窟的发明:西湖露台的修辞、种族和地域

摘要本文探讨了修辞、种族和地点之间的联系。通过档案研究来考察西湖台，作者询问像西湖这样的地方的修辞是如何将这个地方及其人民种族化的。文章表明，这些修辞手法延续了结构性种族主义的议程，以及这些修辞手法的物质后果。有人认为，研究西湖的历史揭示了一个修辞发明的过程，这个过程使这个地方充满了修辞和种族紧张。关注这些发明时刻既可以揭示不平等现象在地方上的形成方式，也可以帮助我们朝着更公平的地方努力。
