These communities have in common the context that is the United States, with the challenges it holds for all regarding: pressure to conform to conventional-canonical forms of communication, representation, and embodiment (mimicry); opportunities to speak back to and confront and overturn conventionality (interruptions); and the need to experience ongoing meaningful and complex relationships (reorientation) to the centering politics, practices, and myths that define ''America.''\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51675888943392,"sku":"NEW0199975426","price":64.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61EreeXCSkL.jpg?v=1779225302","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/misreading-america-p-scriptures-and-difference-0199975426","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
