- Abstract:
- This rhetorical analysis of the phrase "The Rust Belt" asks the question Is The Rust Belt real or mythical? Does Gayatri Spivak's 'Subaltern' caste now inhabit the (so-called) Rust Belt? Why can't Rust Belt writers be heard? "The Rust Belt" is not a title anyone living there would have chosen and yet we use it. Why? Also why should we depend upon pallid hearsay and rumor? Travel broadens the mind, after all. And this is the season of fact-checking!
