Reviews

Melanie Loehwing importantly invites readers to consider these issues explicitly. Loehwing encourages us to understand how these assumptions operate and to evaluate them, reconstructing our notions of community as necessary. In doing so, we may build a new civic home on a firmer foundation of justice, equality, and mutual respect. -Robert Asen, Philosophy and Rhetoric Approaches a topic connected to marginalized voices that is sorely missing from rhetorical studies and, in many cases, from critical analysis writ large: the discourse of, and rhetoric about, homeless communities. The value of this study is that it demonstrates the transformative benefits of viewing homelessness advocacy as a rhetorical means rooted in 'home' rather than just through and by instrumental and utile ends. Loehwing's work serves as a watershed moment of exploring the double marginalization of homeless communities. -Jason Black, author of American Indians and the Rhetoric of Removal and Allotment
