- Title
Power, Language, and Ideology: Historical and Contemporary Notes on the Dismantling of Bilingual Education.
- Authors
Flores, Susana Y.; Murillo Jr., Enrique G.
- Abstract
The authors situate the politics of language surrounding the passage of California's Proposition 227, by discussing the historical and contemporary conditions that have led to the recent dismantling of bilingual education. They review the dynamics of power, language, and ideology since precolonial times, through the colonial period, the era of the Treaty of the Guadalupe Hidalgo, the process of Americanization, the Civil Rights decades, and up to the current 227 law. These are used to bear the point that the hegemonic bond of language is a continual thread that carries over to the new millennium, as we witness the spread of English-only legislation.
