- W1943828421 abstract "Tongue-tied: The lives of multilingual children in public schools edited by Otto Santa Ana. Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 2004. 311 pp. ISBN 0-7425-2383-7 It seems that the current wave of xenophobia sweeping our nation is giving rise to social and linguistic amnesia. Bilingual education programs have a rich history in our nation, and research has established that well-implemented bilingual programs increase the academic achievement of bilingual children. However, in times of war and social stress, Americanization programs and English-only educational policies have carried the day. Tongue-Tied: The Lives of Multilingual Children in Public Education, edited by Otto Santa Ana, sheds light on the consequences that anti-bilingual programs and policies have had on children throughout our nation’s history. Tongue-Tied, an anthology of poetry, essays, and research, offers readers poignant reminders of the ways in which public education has been both painful and harmful for many bilingual and bicultural people. Yet, it is also a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit in the face of institutional racism. Although the authors included in this volume suffered many injustices, they have flourished and have enriched our culture with their work which is exemplified in this anthology. One of the strongest qualities of Tongue-Tied is that it provides a much needed space for the work of a wide range of multilingual and multicultural scholars, activists, poets, and writers. The text is also valuable because it brings together writers from various disciplines to bolster the legitimacy of the book’s main argument: denying people the right and space to communicate in their own languages is wrong, inequitable, and ultimately, destructive. Contributors such as Luis Rodriguez, Simon Ortiz, and Paula Gunn Allen each write passionately about what it means to be denied equal access to education and the right to communicate in one’s own words. Through personal experiences, as well as qualitative and quantitative research, this collection brings ideas and discourses from the margins to the center without homogenizing the points of view being represented by each author. Compiled in response to the passage of California’s Proposition 227, an anti-bilingual education measure that replaced bilingual programs with structured English immersion programs, the volume catalogues the history of educational injustices that non-standard English-speakers have endured. While bilingual education advocates were astounded by the passage of Proposition 227, they also pointed out that the general public did not fully understand the nature or purpose of bilingual education. Part of the impetus, then, behind this anthology is to address the public’s lack of understanding that plays a substantial role in shaping the debate on bilingual education in the United States. Thus, the anthology was also created to give readers accessible, persuasive and moving accounts of what it" @default.
