A study of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road that argues the novel functions as a “rhetorical vision” shaping American countercultural identity. The author, Omar Swartz, examines how Kerouac’s work constructs meaning through symbolic storytelling and rhetorical strategies, positioning the text as a cultural force that influences ideas of freedom, identity, and social deviance within mid-20th-century American society.
