the United States.

The press blurb:


/The Spanish Language in the United States/addresses the rootedness of 
Spanish in the United States, 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 1500s, when the Spanish empire began the settlement of the new 
land, till today, when 39 million U.S. Latinos speak Spanish at home. 
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.
