Tell It Like It Is

"Tell It Like It Is, is a multidisciplinary study touching on fields of communication, rhetoric, politics and the intersections of race, class, gender and sexualitythat adds to our understanding of the multidisciplinary nature of our lives. This bookfills in those large gaps in our knowledge about how even very poor, stigmatized, marginalized, and beleaguered people often do 'talk back' (bell hooks) and dissent from the complacent status quo to 'set society straight.'"—Laura Woliver, professor of political science, joint appointment in Women's and Gender Studies Program at the University of South Carolina, and author of From Outrage to Action: The Politics of Grass-Roots Dissent and The Political Geographies of Pregnancy

"Triece's research prowess applies historical materialism and standpoint theory, resulting in a well-argued challenge to mythic narratives . . ."—Letters, Laws, and New (In)Justice

"Because Triece has a gift for making complex theoretical debates accessible and because she imbues abstract notions with practical meaning, her book would work well in undergraduate as well as graduate seminars. Moreover, Tell It Like It Is should hold a place of honor on the bookshelves of all of us committed to using our theoretical knowledge to better understand and to amplify the voices of those previously silenced by injustice."—Southern Communication Journal
