«Holling and Calafell’s volume shows a subtle awareness of an ‘ethnography of speaking’ in its analysis of how Latin@ identity is constructed or contested discursively in multimodal ways and in a variety of settings. Indeed, anyone interested in inquiring more about how identity discourse both frames and is framed by economic processes, cultural histories, (trans-)national politics, as well as meta-pragmatically in everyday interactions by those performing ethnic identities, will find this book to be an intriguing introduction to LVD as a critical lens for such inquiries.»

«Latina/o Discourse in Vernacular Spaces: Somos de Una Voz?'s eclectic perspectives and commitment to problematizing rather than canonizing its discourse are the volume's strengths. This book is an invaluable source of cutting-edge research on the rhetorical histories and possible trajectories of latina/o communication studies.»

«Are we of one voice? Could we be? Should we be? Why would we want to be? These are the underlying and nagging questions that scholars of Latina/o communication and discourse wrestle with as part of the very nature of the topic. Holling and Calafell have gathered a collection of essays and suggested sources that will facilitate the inclusion of this rich area of inquiry into both the traditional communication classroom, as well as specialized courses designed to analyze and critique Latina/o discourse.»
Sarah Amira de la Garza, Arizona State University
«An excellent anthology. Holling and Calafell have put together a highly coherent collection of essays that establish a significant foundation for the next generation of Latina/o scholarship in communication studies. Latina/o Discourse in Vernacular Spaces will be of tremendous value to scholars and students interested in contemporary Latina/o discursive practices.»
