Title: Ideology as rhetorical constraint: The anarchist agitation of “red Emma” Goldman
Abstract: Abstract This case study of the rhetoric of Emma Goldman explores the relationship between ideology and rhetorical strategies. After tracing Goldman's use of argument by incongruity and embodiment, the essay explains why these strategies were ineffective for an American audience. Finally, the essay argues that these strategies are inherent in anarchist ideology and that, consequently, anarchism could not be rhetorically effective as a social movement within American society.
