Reviews

"""Given the huge wave of theory that flowed through composition and rhetoric beginning in the 1980s, it is important now to take stock of what the changes wrought by theory will have meant for us. Sanchez shows us how our conceptions of knowledge and theory have in some senses not come along as far as we might have thought, and thereby opens up a space for thinking anew about these issues beyond interpretive/hermeneutic frameworks that are still predominant. He makes an interesting, innovative argument, one that I think will be good for the field to hear. And, he helps supply further rationale for the centrality of writing in university curriculums, if not life in general."""
