Abstract:

Through the presentation of visual and textual insights, this book chronicles
the experiences of Quechuan bilingual college students, who strive to maintain
their ethnolinguistic identity while succeeding in Spanish-centric curricula.
The book merges decolonial theory and participatory action research in pursuit
of mobilizing Indigenous languages such as Quechua and depicts the ways in
which these Andean college students deal with limited opportunities for
Quechua-Spanish bilingual practices. It provides an overview of their
collective efforts to mobilize Quechua in higher education, efforts which will
help all who read it understand the maintenance of the Quechua language
beginning at the grassroots level. The author advocates for engaging language
researchers in critical collective forces at the core of conditions which
promote Quechua in higher education, a collective effort which must reflect
decolonial, non-Eurocentric, non-fundamentalist Indigenous concepts in
combination with action-oriented cultural wealth for the benefit of
minoritized languages and peoples.
