Abstract:

Exploring the complex relationship between language and immigration in the
United States, this timely book challenges mainstream, historically
established assumptions about American citizenship and identity. Set within
both a historical and a current political context, this book covers hotly
debated topics such as language and ethnicity, the relationship between
non-native English and American identity, perceptions and stereotypes related
to foreign accents, code-switching, hybrid language forms such as Spanglish,
language and the family, and the future of language in America. Work from the
fields of linguistics, education policy, history, sociology, and politics are
brought together to provide an accessible overview of the key issues. Through
specific examples and case studies, immigrant America is presented as a
diverse, multilingual, and multidimensional space in which identities are
often hybridized and always multifaceted.
