108 documents for bilingualism in education and politics in the united states
  • The traditional legal definition of citizenship in the U.S. is linked to the granting of full membership and access to political, social, and civil rights by the government, yet there are numerous examples of these rights not being granted to all people equally (Hernández-Truyol, 2005; Johnson, 2002a; Hernández-Truyol and Hawk, 2005).\n Our analysis focused more on cultural citizenship, but the narratives of our participants highlight that legal citizenship is a reality that shapes one's access to education, employment, and safety. A clear link to how one's legal status in this country affords certain legal rights is revealed in statements such as that of the kindergartener, fearing her mother would be sent back to Mexico, or of the university student mentors who told us of the amount ...

  • Linda McClain and Jim Fleming have written a thoughtful critique of one of the main arguments in my recent book Towards Juristocracy: The Origins and Consequences of the New Constitutionalism. In focusing on an argument that occupies approximately one-third of the book, they inevitably overlook some of the book's other (and I'd humbly suggest, at least equally significant) arguments. Their review would have been more effective had they actually reviewed the entire set of arguments presented in the book, rather than drawing on one aspect of it as a benchmark against which they can stage their own views on the matters at stake. Our disagreements on method and substance notwithstanding, McClain and Fleming's review forces us to take a close look at, and perhaps refine our definitions of, p...

  • The article--an advance chapter from a forthcoming book--set off a firestorm of criticism. Foreign Policy editors noted that the media and reader response was unprecedented in its 34-year history. Most responses were from academics and policy analysts, Anglo and Hispanic alike, and most were extremely critical. "Shoddy research," "offensive and false," "nativism," "unnecessarily alarmist," "bizarre," "unabashed racism," "xenophobic" were common descriptions offered in the critiques. The controversy quickly spilled beyond the pages of Foreign Policy. Mexican intellectual Enrique Krauze described Huntington's method as a "crude civilizational approach." Carlos Fuentes called Huntington "profoundly racist and also profoundly ignorant" and accused him of adopting the favored fascist tactic ...
