The article “Critical Race Theory Counterstory as Allegory: A Rhetorical Trope to Raise Awareness About Arizona’s Ban on Ethnic Studies” written by Aja Y. Martinez displays resistance writing throughout the piece. Martinez takes a differential writing technique in comparison to what we have read thus far in class, wherein she utilizes fictional storytelling to represent a universal lesson or moral.
