- 요약Twelver Shia Muslims are a minority amidst an already marginalized Muslim population in the U.S. and, like other immigrant-based groups in North America, confront the violence of assimilation by adopting U.S. modes of sense-making and participating in "model minority" politics. However, what makes the Twelver Shia tradition distinct is the belief in a divinely appointed system of leadership that follows the death of Prophet Muhammad through figures known as "Imams," many of whom were persecuted for their promotion of "just" Islamic principles and ultimately martyred by the "State" or governing apparatus of their time. As an alternative to inclusionary politics, I use this dissertation to consider how Twelver Shia Muslims in the U.S. may be drawn to abolitionist movements today for the purposes of designing an anti-racism curriculum for their communities, an effort coordinated by the organization, Shia Racial Justice Coalition (SRJC). Viewing the contemporary nation-State as an ongoing settler-colonial project, the term "abolition" refers to an ongoing project aimed at liberating oppressed people from contemporary iterations of "bondage" shaped by the legacies of white supremacy, capitalism, cis-heteropatriarchy, ableism and more. By proposing the need for an alternative "epistemic" translation, I argue that abolitionist rhetoric (rather than the more inclusionary politics and modes of sense-making) offers Twelver Shia Muslims living in the U.S. the practical language to apply their own Twelver Shia tradition towards anti-racist education.In addition to conducting interviews with members of SRJC and others from U.S. Twelver Shia communities, I also drew heavily on rhetorical theories. After exploring the shared features of social justice between abolitionist scholarship and the Twelver Shia tradition in my first chapter, I identify how neoliberal multiculturalism serves as a contemporary epistemic translation in U.S. Twelver Shia communities and further, functions as a "zoerhetoric" in my second chapter, or a rhetoric that generates hierarchies of "human-hood" across publics. Finally, I use my last chapter to imagine rhetorical ecologies of 'adl (or justice), which is tethered to the goal of transforming neoliberal, multicultural modes of sense-making, with more communal-modes of sense-making derived by the Twelver Shia faith tradition and an abolitionist epistemic translation.
