| Abstract |
This book considers the 2015 Charleston mass shooting from a rhetorical perspective and offers an appraisal of the discourses that cradled and emerged from it. It argues that Charleston was different from other mass shootings in America and that the differences can be heard and seen in that rhetoric. |
