«This book provides a detailed, historical, and comprehensive overview of bilingual education efforts in the US. By centering the voices of scholars, advocates, and the media in each chapter, Moore reminds us of what educational equity requires of educators and policymakers. The book is an outstanding resource for teacher educators, scholars, and bilingual teachers.»

Ester J. de Jong, University of Florida, USA

«Moore’s richly contextualized excavation of the history of federal bilingual education policy can help combat the erasure of language rights struggles so prevalent in today’s discourse of dual-language education and neoliberal multilingual interests. The book paves a path for more critically conscientious language education policymaking.»

Claudia G. Cervantes-Soon, Arizona State University, USA

«Moore's book boldly addresses the ideological and sociopolitical struggles and triumphs of bilingual education from both a historical and contemporary perspective. It brings to the forefront the essential and foundational components for launching and sustaining efficacious bilingual programs – by honoring the legacy of decades of research and policies necessary to pass the torch from one generation to the next.»

Cristina Alfaro, San Diego State University, USA

«

[This] is a thorough, well-researched, and carefully planned book [...] definitely a must-read for those who would benefit from learning how bilingual education in the United States arose and how we got to our current situation. Educators, advocates, administrators, and even those curious about bilingual education among the general public would all benefit from reading this volume.
