This book is a treasure of scholarly arguments by brilliant scholars who powerfully reject the gentrification of bilingual education theories in order to build culturally and linguistically responsive policies and practices that ideologically and pedagogically resist racialized bilingual classrooms and communities.
Cristina Alfaro, San Diego State University, USA
This important book is a cautionary tale about how the best of intentions can be undermined when careful attention isn’t paid to the equity challenges in dual language programs. Dual language educators would be wise to take the lessons presented here to heart and plan their programs accordingly.
Patricia C. Gándara, University of California, Los Angeles, USA
This book engages the reader in an in-depth, critical conversation about how gentrification of dual language bilingual education (DLBE) programs affects policy and practice decision making at the program, school, district and state level, and points to ways to reconceptualize and reimagine DLBE through a new lens of integration. A terrific resource for those interested in the intersection of equity and bilingual education.
Ester J. de Jong, University of Colorado Denver, USA
<p>In their compelling collection of studies, Delavan, Freire, and Menken offer a thoughtprovoking examination of the systemic and pervasive issues of gentrification within DLBE in the United States. They present a valuable framework for understanding and addressing the root causes of gentrification, offering tangible steps to resist the influence of more affluent and influential communities. This book is a compelling call to action, challenging educators, policymakers, and communities to strive for meaningful change in bilingual education. The provided framework is comprehensive and practical, highlighting the human aspect of DLBE programming through the lens of “love, solidarity, consciousness, and hope.” Detailed examples of how DLBE leadership has embraced the framework and prioritized the communities they serve, underscore the potential of advocating for equity and justice as catalysts for social change.</p>

This volume proposes solutions to the gentrification of dual language, bilingual and immersion education by examining how it operates across diverse school and community contexts. It brings together studies in a number of areas including instruction, curriculum development, classroom interaction, school leadership, parent and community engagement, ideological discourse and language policy. Through academic and reader-friendly summaries of research, this book makes a strong theory-to-practice impact towards equitable integration in education programs and their surrounding neighborhoods. It draws attention to how understanding and responding to gentrification of language programs is part of the broader fight for racial and educational justice for immigrant communities in US schools, and offers practical recommendations with action steps for educators, families, school administrators, activists and other key stakeholders in language education.
The four stakeholder resource chapters in Part 2 have been made Open Access under a CC BY NC ND licence to allow all teachers and administrators to benefit from the research, with freely available practical guidance on working towards equity in language education.
