Sommario/riassunto

This encyclopedia is tightly focused on the unique history of polemics, and the various forms bilingual education has taken in U.S. schools. The work may be viewed as a single-source history of bilingual education in the last half of the 20th century but its roots in earlier periods in U.S. history are also summarized.
