摘要

On July 8, 2003, at Goree Island, Senegal, George W. Bush delivered the most important speech on American slavery since Abraham Lincoln. As an example of rhetorical artistry, the speech is a masterpiece, putting the brutality of slavery into historical, political, and theological perspective. Although the speech had deliberative effects—it grew out of, and contributed to, the Millennium Challenge as well as the administration's African AIDS initiative—it was primarily an epideictic speech that envisioned Providential history as its audience. By adopting the God of history as audience, Bush was able to confess the nation's original sin and to begin to make amends by directing billions of dollars to African development as well as treatment of AIDS and malaria. While largely successful with Africans, the speech left many African Americans both puzzled and angry. The Bush administration could have built on the initial success of the Goree Island speech by extending the internal logic of the address to the material conditions of African Americans, but it did not.View full textDownload full textKeywordsAfrica, Slavery, George W.

机译:2003年7月8日,乔治·W·布什(George W. Bush)在塞内加尔的Goree岛上发表了自亚伯拉罕·林肯(Abraham Lincoln)以来最重要的关于美国奴隶制的演讲。作为修辞艺术的一个例子,演讲是杰作,将奴隶制的残酷性纳入了历史,政治和神学的视野。尽管该演讲具有审议作用,但它源于千年挑战以及政府的非洲艾滋病倡议,并为之做出了贡献。这主要是一场流行性演讲,其设想了普罗维登斯的历史。通过采用历史之神作为听众,布什得以承认该国的原始罪恶,并通过将数十亿美元用于非洲发展以及治疗艾滋病和疟疾而开始作出补偿。演讲虽然在非洲人中大获成功,但使许多非洲裔美国人感到困惑和愤怒。布什政府本可以通过将演讲的内部逻辑扩展到非裔美国人的物质条件上来建立戈里岛演讲的最初成功,但事实并非如此。查看全文下载全文关键词非洲,奴隶制,乔治·W·布什,戈雷岛屿,普罗维登斯,罪恶,正义,讽刺相关的变量add add_id “ ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b”};添加到候选列表链接永久链接http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00335630.2010.499107
