Critics Review
“Collins’s expertise in both law and rhetoric give her a rare ability to tackle this project. Beyond Recognition demonstrates a deep familiarity with the conversations regarding transgender antidiscrimination law, contemporary rhetorical theory, and the relationship between law and rhetoric. It is a timely, important, and compelling book.“—Elizabeth C. Britt, author of Reimagining Advocacy: Rhetorical Education in the Legal Clinic
”Beyond Recognition is a well-written, thought-provoking contribution to the field of rhetoric and law. The author tackles a wrought genre of law–antidiscrimination law–that works at the nexus of so many issues: identity, individualism, intentionality, proof, bureaucracy, and justice, to name just a few.“—M. Kelly Carr, author of The Rhetorical Invention of Diversity: Supreme Court Opinions, Public Arguments, and Affirmative Action
