The book review discusses "Inviting understanding: A portrait of invitational rhetoric" edited by Sonja K. Foss and Cindy L. Griffin. The book explores the concept of invitational rhetoric, which challenges the traditional association of rhetoric with persuasion and aims to create a nonpersuasive and noncontentious rhetorical theory. The book is divided into four parts, covering the foundations, extensions, applications, and expansions of invitational rhetoric. It includes essays that illustrate the theory and its importance, as well as its potential for social transformation and its applications in various contexts. The review acknowledges the value of the book in promoting marginalized voices and invites further exploration and development of invitational rhetoric. [Extracted from the article]
