Abstract
Mexican Americans are becoming increasingly visible members of North American society. Yet the cultural influences that frame Mexican American involvement have not been examined by rhetorical critics. This essay uses William E. Brown's theory of interventional rhetoric to describe a strategy of participation by which Mexican Americans employ discourse to reinterpret social roles and expectations in an Ohio community.Keywords
