Neocolonialism is the continuation or reimposition of imperialist rule by a state over another nominally independent state. This is the continuation of colonial representations and realities which remain after formal colonisation has come to an end.Neocolonialism is the control of less-developed countries by developed countries through indirect means. The term neocolonialism was first used after World War II to refer to the continuing dependence of former colonies on foreign countries,but its meaning soon broadened to apply,more generally,to places where the power of developed countries was used to produce a colonial-like exploitation.Neocolonialism takes the form of economic imperialism,globalization,cultural imperialism and conditional aid to influence or control a developing country instead of the previous colonial methods of direct military control or indirect political control (hegemony).

Keith Gilyard is a writer and American professor of English and African American Studies. He has passionately embraced African American expressive culture over the course of his career as a poet,scholar,and educator. Beyond his own literary output,he has pursued –and in some instances merged - two main lines of humanistic inquiry:literary studies,with its concern for beauty and significant form,and rhetorical studies,with its emphasis on the effect of trope and argument in culture. Moreover,his interests branch out into popular culture,civic discourse,and educational praxis. A critical perspective concerning these areas is,in his view,integral to the development of discerning and productive publics both on and beyond campuses and therefore crucial to the optimal practice of democracy.

Feminist rhetoric emphasizes the narratives of all demographics,including women and other marginalized groups,into the consideration or practice of rhetoric. Feminist rhetoric does not focus exclusively on the rhetoric of women or feminists,but instead prioritizes the feminist principles of inclusivity,community,and equality over the classic,patriarchal model of persuasion that ultimately separates people from their own experience. Seen as the act of producing or the study of feminist discourses,feminist rhetoric emphasizes and supports the lived experiences and histories of all human beings in all manner of experiences. It also redefines traditional delivery sites to include non-traditional locations such as demonstrations,letter writing,and digital processes,and alternative practices such as rhetorical listening and productive silence. According to author and rhetorical feminist Cheryl Glenn in her book Rhetorical Feminism and This Thing Called Hope (2018),"rhetorical feminism is a set of tactics that multiplies rhetorical opportunities in terms of who counts as a rhetor,who can inhabit an audience,and what those audiences can do." Rhetorical feminism is a strategy that counters traditional forms of rhetoric,favoring dialogue over monologue and seeking to redefine the way audiences view rhetorical appeals.
