In this book, Eric Manuel Rodriguez argues that revolutionary rhetoric operates as insurgent infrastructure rather than symbolic performance. Examining the Young Lords, a revolutionary nationalist organization forged from conditions of colonial displacement, racial capitalism, and urban neglect, this book argues that rhetorical studies requires recalibration to account for rhetoric's material dimensions and its capacity to coordinate collective survival under organized abandonment. Through sustained analysis of the Young Lords' bilingual newspaper Palante , their 13-Point Program and Platform, Rules of Discipline, and the occupations, clinics, and educational programs that constituted their revolutionary praxis, Rodriguez demonstrates how rhetoric coordinated bodies, resources, and time under conditions of organized abandonment. Drawing on decolonial theory, foquismo , and the concept of kairos, the study reframes rhetorical action as the construction of counter-institutions - free clinics, autonomous media, community defense, liberation school - that sustained collective survival. Tracing the organization's rhetorical evolution from Chicago to New York and its eventual fracture, the book reveals how print, pedagogy, and occupation functioned as logistical media for mobilization. Ultimately, Rodriguez concludes by articulating three principles - insurgent infrastructure, dialectical pedagogy, and collective logistics - that connect the Young Lords' legacy to contemporary movements and abolitionist organizing.
