Review Quotes:
"Flores's historical work makes an incredibly unique contribution to the field. Moreover, given her work on race and racialization and the dearth of such work in the broader field of rhetoric, her contribution is even more significant. She provides a wonderful example of how to do what she elsewhere calls 'racial rhetorical criticism.'"
--Karma Chávez, author of Queer Migration Politics: Activist Rhetoric and Coalitional Possibilities
