Review Quotes: "Theoretically rich and sophisticated, Inscrutable Eating makes an important contribution to a field that has had to reckon with the way it has approached research and teaching about communities of color. LeMesurier's novel conceptual work, compelling analysis, and timely rhetorical intervention will make this book a touchstone in cultural rhetorics." --Morris Young, author of Minor Re/Visions: Asian American Literacy Narratives as a Rhetoric of Citizenship
