Gentrification and Bilingual Education: A Texas TWBE School across Seven Years - Hardcover

by Deborah K. Palmer (Editor), Suzanne García-Mateus (Editor), Melissa Adams-Corral (Contribution by)

This volume paints a vivid portrait of a bilingual school over seven years as it implemented a two-way-dual-language program and rapidly gentrified. Contributors--former teachers, parents, and researchers at the school--argue that to avoid marginalizing racialized bilingual families, schools must engage in dialogue toward critical consciousness.
