Reclaiming Composition for Chicano/as and Other Ethnic Minorities

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.



Iris D. Ruiz is Lecturer at the University of California, Merced, USA. She is also the Co-Chair of the Conference on College Composition and Communication Latino/a Caucus.
