A Rhetorical Analysis: Violence/Victimhood in Las Hjias de Juan: Daughters Betrayed

Panel: 
Rhetorical Approaches to Literature
Abstract: 

In her text Las Hijas de Juan: Daughters Betrayed, Joise Mendez-Negrete critically frames her autobiographical story. I will examine how Negrete constructs Chicana/o rhetoric as epistemological rather than representational, as a site of singularity rather than one of pathologized difference.
