[HERITAGE-LIST] New book: Bilingualism and identity

[Kim Potowski]

Apologies for multiple posts.

Dear friends,

There is a new book that we believe you and others at your institution  
might find useful.  It is the first book of its kind, dealing with  
linguistic identity enactment (performance, negotiation, construction)  
in Hispanic bilingualism (where Spanish comes in contact with many  
languages, e.g. English, French, Basque, Catalan, Gallego and many  
indigenous languages).

Here is the url http://www.benjamins.com/cgi-bin/t_bookview.cgi?bookid=SiBil%2037 
  for more information.

Niño-Murcia, M. & Rothman, J (eds). (2008) Bilingualism and identity:  
Spanish at the crossroads with other languages. Amsterdam: John  
Benjamins

If you feel it might be of interest, we kindly ask that you request  
your library to purchase the book.  Please also forward this message  
to anyone you feel might also be interested.

Thank you very much in advance for your collaboration!
