Series Statement:
New critical viewpoints on society
Content:
"This book addresses the rootedness of Spanish in the US, its racialization--and Spanish-speakers resistance against racialization. This novel approach challenges the "foreigner" status of Spanish and shows that racialization victims do not take their oppression meekly. It traces the rootedness of Spanish since the 1500's when members of the Spanish empire began the settlement of the new land. Today, 39 million U.S. Latinos speak Spanish at home--the world's fourth largest population of Spanish speakers. Authors show how whites categorize Spanish speaking in ways that denigrate the non-standard language habits of Spanish speakers-including in schools-highlighting ways of overcoming racism"--
