Lamos reminds us that composition classrooms and writing programs have functioned increasingly as sites where competing values and interests have converged and diverged dynamically across the decades. He casts a critical eye toward what has constituted writing instruction and succeeds in making a compelling case for rethinking the stories we tell about this work as we go forward, recognizing that these converging and diverging challenges continue. --Jacqueline J. Royster, Georgia Institute of Technology

Royster, Georgia Institute of Technology"" ""Interests and Opportunities makes an important contribution to our understanding of how discourses of race have shaped the evolution of basic writing. Lamos provides a fine-grained analysis of the politics of race in higher education and challenges us to consider the ways in which racialized discourses both stymie, and occasionally enable, institutional change.""-- ""Jennifer Trainor, San Francisco State University""
