Steve Rahko

Dr. Rahko is a rhetorical critic whose research orbits around two central pillars of contemporary American public culture: the rhetoric of late-capitalism and the emerging rhetoric of America as “post-racial.” His research agenda focuses on representations of race in American popular culture, and he is currently co-editing a book with the University Press of Mississippi titled Rupturing Post-Racial Fantasies: The Rhetorical Politics of Race and American Popular Culture Since the Ferguson Uprisings.
