Ruiz Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan Print ISBN: 9781137536723, 1137536721 eText ISBN: 9781137536730, 113753673X Copyright year: 2016 Format: EPUB Available from $ 99.00 USD SKU 9781137536730 Winner of Honorable Mention for the 2018 Conference on College Composition and Communication Outstanding Book Award This book examines the history of ethnic minorities particularly Chicano/as and Latino/as--in the field of composition and rhetoric; the connections between composition and major US historical movements toward inclusiveness in education; the ways our histories of that inclusiveness have overlooked Chicano/as; and how this history can inform the teaching of composition and writing to Chicano/a and Latino/a students in the present day. Bridging the gap between Ethnic Studies, Critical History, and Composition Studies, Ruiz creates a new model of the practice of critical historiography and shows how that can be developed into a critical writing pedagogy for students who live in an increasingly multicultural, multilingual society.
