Abstract

Drawing from an interpretive decolonial framework that understands multimodal writing as the act of creating knowledge, this article analyzes Chicanx murals as multimodal compositions that exemplify the continuation of the Aztec practice of writing with images. This work also invites rhetoric and composition scholars to reexamine Western understandings of history, particularly the history of writing.
