Patricia Bizzell. The 4th of July and the 22nd of December: The Function of Cultural Archives in Persuasion, as Shown by Frederick Douglass and William Apess.

Bizzell, Patricia. "The 4th of July and the 22nd of December: The Function of Cultural Archives in Persuasion, as Shown by Frederick Douglass and William Apess." CCC 48.1 (1997): 44-60.

Abstract:

Bizzell makes the case that teachers value writing that shows sophisticated content knowledge grounded in broad cultural knowledge, yet the explicit teaching of content and cultural knowledge is rare. Resisting Hirsch's move toward a monocultural focus, she argues for incorporating attention to diverse American cultural archives into composition pedagogy. She uses Frederick Douglass' and William Apess' work to illustrate the use of cultural archives to develop rich and compelling cultural allusions.
