Reviews
“Indigenous Rhetoric and Survival in the Nineteenth Century: A Yurok Woman Speaks Out is a noteworthy contribution to the field of rhetoric, with relevance to other fields as well. I appreciate how Lowry situates herself as a non-Native scholar and the effort she makes to underscore Thompson’s relevance and impact on contemporary Yurok life. Lowry’s book is highly accessible in terms of length and content and should be considered a companion text for anyone who reads Thompson.” (Olivia Chilcote, California History, Vol. 97 (3), 2020)
