Reviews

In this book, Hayes takes a critical approach in her examination of traditional writing pedagogy and its tendency toward resistance to Appalachian rhetoric, which has a complex history worth exploring. Teachers of writing--particularly those in rural Appalachia--will benefit from Hayes's important work. This exciting book fills a need for more conversation about what constitutes Appalachian rhetoric and why teachers at all levels should know more about it to better understand the diverse voices their students bring to the classroom. Amy D. Clark, coeditor of Talking Appalachian: Voice, Identity, and Community
