Rhetoric in South America is an attempt at bringing to
the fore the discipline as it now is, in that large, Catholic domain once spliced
by pontifical decree, and spliced again from and by the North along
ideological lines. This “America”, which is the foundational America re-
qualified as South America, stands apart, and it stands its ground. This book
is an attempt not to impose Northern views on what exotic rhetoricians
believe South American Rhetoric Studies to be, but to open a door onto
research, writing and intellectual engagement, of which we have, by and large,
outside South America, little awareness. Since the early 16th century Latin
American universities, the most venerable of the New World, have taught
rhetoric, printed books of rhetoric, and made rhetoric a powerful instrument
of acculturation. And so do they, today.
