Abstract:

This book explores bilingual community education, specifically the
educational spaces shaped and organized by American ethnolinguistic
communities for their children in the multilingual city of New York.
Employing a rich variety of case studies which highlight the
importance of the ethnolinguistic community in bilingual education,
this collection examines the various structures that these communities
use to educate their children as bilingual Americans. In doing so, it
highlights the efforts and activism of these communities and what
bilingual community education really means in today's globalized
world. The volume offers new understandings of heritage language
education, bilingual education, and speech communities for bilingual
Americans in the 21st century.

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
                            Sociolinguistics
