provides readers with an integrated sense of the rhetorical multiplicity circulating among and about immigrants. Whereas extant literature on immigration rhetoric tends to focus on the media, this work extends the conversation to the immigrants themselves, among others. A collection whose own eclecticism highlights the complexity of the issue,
is not only a study in the language of immigration but also a frank discussion of who is doing the talking and what it means for the future.
From questions of activism, authority, and citizenship to the influence of Hollywood, the LGBTQ community, and the church,
considers the myriad venues in which the American immigration question emerges—and the interpretive framework suited to account for it.
