&#160;    African Yearbook of Rhetoric  Sujet  :   Publication of the Centre for Rhetoric Studies at the University of Cape Town. Our brief is the interface between rhetoric (as the study of deliberation in public affairs) and the development of democracy - by engaging with the international community of scholars and practitioners in rhetoric. For some fifteen years the Centre for Rhetoric Studies has been promoting the cause of rhetoric on the African continent. Seconded by friends and colleagues, from Morocco to Romania, from Sweden to Argentina, from France to the United States, whose home disciplines or intellectual interests lie with philosophy and critical theory, politics and religion, the law and science, and simply rhetoric, we have forged ahead, moved by the belief, supported by observation, that a democracy without the means to argue is bound to fail, and impelled by the conviction, borne by intelligence, that a duty of deliberation, placed on both governed and government, is fundamental to the exercise of citizenship.
