More than two decades ago, the University of Alabama Press published Doing Rhetorical History following a productive conference in 1995 on “Rhetoric, History, and Critical Interpretation: The Recovery of the Historical-Critical Praxis” at the Greenspun School of Communication at the University of Nevada–Las Vegas. To our surprise and delight, the volume has come to be a staple in many graduate programs, inspired a range of insightful research, and garnered an entry in the International Encyclopedia of Communication. We are heartened by how many scholars, both emerging and veteran, embraced what I called “the challenge and the promise” of rhetorical history, offering “an understanding of rhetoric as a process rather than simply as a product.”1 Studies since that time have ranged from sex and education to South African reconciliation, from queering rhetorical history to Barack Obama, from photos of rural poverty to American Indian activism.2 Rhetorical scholars have indeed worked to counter the observation that “history is one of the few resources Americans haven’t fully exploited.”
