Abstract:

Explicit discussions of race and racial identity have traditionally been
omitted from Spanish language education in the US – especially in curricula
designed for imagined 'native' speakers of English. Consequences of this
de-racialization of Spanish language learning include the perpetuation of
institutional racisms and missed opportunities to build productive
conversations about the ways race and power are enacted through language.
Spanish So White is written specifically for secondary and post-secondary
teachers who identify as White and second language learners of Spanish. It
supports the development of language education that centers a racially dynamic
Spanish-speaking world and challenges interpersonal and institutional forms of
racism. Author Adam Schwartz shares stories of his own socialization into
Whiteness and Spanish-English bilingualism. He invites readers into the work
of reconciling privileges they too may share as White Spanish-language
learners and teachers.
