Reviews

“Hoang offers an insightful thick description of Asian American activism rhetoric at the sites of language and literacy production.  It teaches us to rethink what we mean by ‘student writing’ and the ‘teaching of writing’ in light of a broad range of self-sponsored, extracurricular rhetorical acts by Asian American activists.”
—Min-Zhan Lu, University of Louisville|“Hoang’s major intervention is her development and retheorization of Asian American ethos and the uses of memory to create rhetorical situations that challenge racism.  Hoang is able to develop an argument that not only has breadth (for its wider discussion of the politics of race and language) but also depth for its rhetorical reading of Asian American student activism.”
