Explanation:

Rhetoric concerns the use of devices and strategies to convince the audience of your opinion or perspective. A commonly efficient way to do so is by establishing your own credibility concerning the subject. That is what Anaya is doing in this excerpt. He gets to talk about language and culture in American literature, and be taken seriously while doing it, due to his credibility as a published Chicano author. His life and career are devoted and dependent on this subject, which gives him some sort of authority to discuss it.
