What Reviewers Said about Earlier Editions
"A fascinating glimpse into this complex policy issue [by] one of the most seasoned and astute observers of the politics of bilingual education. ... I plan to keep a copy to lend to anyone I run across who is possessed by the many myths about bilingualism and language policy in the U.S."
