Critics Review

“Indigenous Genres of the Human offers a rich, pluriversal account of writing and rhetoric. Melding first-person storying with Western-style theorizing and working across Indigenous and Latinx America, RÍos locates rhetoricity in human and more-than-human poetry, movement, and inscription. This book represents a refreshing reorientation of longstanding conversations in new materialisms, posthumanism, and cultural rhetorics and will energize scholars in those fields and beyond.”—Christa J. Olson, author of American Magnitude: Hemispheric Vision and Public Feeling in the United States
