Language, space and power: a critical look at bilingual education

---

The goal of Language, Space and Power is to richly describe the sociolinguistic
and sociocultural life of a dual language classroom in which
attention is given to not only the language learning processes at hand
but also to how race, ethnicity and gender dynamics interact within
the language acquisition process. Much attention has been given to the
quantitative research supporting the academic success of dual language
programs (Collier, 1989; Gandera & Merino, 1993; Lindholm & Gavlek,
1994; Lindholm-Leary, 2001). However, critics of dual immersion programs
state that there has been relatively little in-depth examination of
the contextual factors in dual immersion development: (1) the quality
of education in the minority language; (2) the effects of dual immersion
instruction on intergroup relations between students; (3) how dual
immersion programs define the relationship between language and
power; and (4) how that relationship may affect both language majority
and language minority students in the dual immersion classroom
