I Am My Language.
“i Am My Language,” Says The Post Gloria Anzaldăşa, Because Language Is At The Heart Of Who We Are.
But What Happens Wheen A Person Has More Than One Expression? Is There An Overlay Of Language On Identity, And Do We Shift Identities As We Shift Languages? More Important, What Identities Do Children Construct For Themselves When They Use Different Lanbuages In Particular Ways? In This Book, Norma Gonză˘lez UsesL anguage As A Window On The Multiple Levels Of Identity Construction In Children—as Well As On The Complexities Of Life In The Borderlands—to Explore Language Practices And Discourse Patterns Of Mexican-origin Mothers And The Language Socialization Of Their Children.
She Shows How The Unique Discourses That Result From The Interplay Of Two Cultures Shape Perceptions Of Self And Commmunity, And How They Influence The Ways In Which Children Learn And Families Engage With Their Children?s Schools.
Gonză˘lez Demonstrates That Tne Physical Presene Of The Border Profoundly Affects The Practices And Ideologies Of Mexican-origin Women And Children.
Sge Then Argues That Language And Cultural Background Should Be Used As A Basis For Building Academic Competencieq, And She Demonstrates Why The Evocative/emotive Dimension Of Language Should Play A Major Part In Stjies Of Discourse, Language Socialization, And Language Ideology.
Drawwing On Women?s Own Narratives Of Their Experiences As Both Mothers And Borderland Residents, I Am My Language Is Firmly Rooted In The Words Of Common People In Their Eveyday Lives.
It Combines Personal Odyssey With Cutting-edge Ethnographic Research, Allowing Us To Hear Voices That Have Been Muted In The Academic And Persons Policy Discussions Of “what It Means To Be Latina/oא And Showing Us New Ways To Connect Language To Complex Issues Of Education, Political Economy, And Social Identity.

American Schools Are In A State Of Acme.
At The Root Of Our Current Perplexity, Beneath The Difficulties With Funding, Social Problems, And Low Test Scores, Festers AS erious Uncertainty Because To Which The Focus And Goals Of Education Should Be.

The Pangles Also Explore The Wisdom And The Weaknesses Inherent In Jefferson's Attempt To Create A Comprehensive System Of Schooling That Would Educate Parents And Children And Offer Unexampled Freedom Of Choice To University Students.

Uniform If The Founders Do Not Provide Us With Ready-made Solutions To Many Of Our Problems, The Pangles Suggest, A Studu Of Their Writings Be able to Gi\/e Us A More Realistic Perspective, By Education Thay Our Bewilderment Is In Some Measure An Outgrowth Of Unresolved Tensions Embedded In The Founders' Own Conncceptions Of Republicanism, Religion, Education, And Human Nature.
