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 ...

Looking back now on the three-month internship she completed with a bank in Spain, Alba Argueta counts her bilingualism as a blessing. She doesn't know how she would have gotten along in the historic city of Santander, Spain, or at El Banco de Santander, without her Spanish. Her experience is part of a young but growing program John Boyd began two years ago after teaching in the Baylor in Great Britain program. Now director of Career Services, Boyd is making the contacts that will send students abroad to work for years to come. While only a few students so far have worked outside the United States through the program, it has yielded early successes. Developing the relationships that result in internships abroad takes years and years said Boyd.

In March of 2005, the manager of a Dunkin' Donuts in Yonkers, New York, stirred some local controversy when he posted a sign inviting customers to complain if they heard employees behind the counter speaking a language other than English.1 A day later, the manager removed the sign, responding to vociferous complaints that it amounted to discrimination. [...] while Dunkin' Brands, Inc. requires employees who interact with the public to be fluent in English, the company immediately issued a statement distancing itself from the manager's action, emphasizing that "having employees that speak the languages of the local neighborhood . . . can be a key element in creating a hospitable environment." The interest we should focus on protecting in the workplace is not the individual worker's fre...

The beat goes on ... The United States remains mired in debt and two wars. Japan's massive reconstruction problems are indescribable and won't be fully resolved anytime soon. The Middle East is a powderkeg with a fuse that can be lit at any moment. Escalating oil prices hamper everyone and everything, both in this country and elsewhere, and early relief appears highly unlikely. Libya continues to thumb its nose at the civilized world while soaking its soil with the blood of people who dare to challenge an evil dictatorship.
