The narrative considers the personal experiences of an academic of color (in this specific case, an American of Puerto Rican heritage) in thelight of the history of rhetoric, the English Only movement, current socio-and psycho-linguistic theory, and the writings of Antonio Gramsci and Paulo Freire, among others, as well as the phenomenon of assimilation... Chapter 7 is on Intellectuals and Hegemony. A "Post(modern)script" is attached....(RS)».
