While she does discuss the history of and debates over bilingual education programs, her focus is an analysis of the passionate support for an English-only America. She uses the myths about the assimilation of previous immigrant groups and the debates over how best to educate children of the "new immigrants" as a window for exploring what it means to be a "true American" in an age of globalization and transnationalism.Underlying her discussion of these various debates is Salomone's call for a more inclusive sense of the "we" that demands respect for linguistic and cultural differences, rather than mere toleration. She argues that we can politically equal and culturally compatible without being culturally identical or monolingual. 606 $aImmigrant children$xEducation$zUnited States 606 $aImmigrant children$zUnited States$xLanguage 606 $aImmigrant children$zUnited States$xEthnic identity 606 $aEducation, Bilingual$zUnited States 606 $aAmericanization 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration 615 0$aImmigrant children$xEducation 615 0$aImmigrant children$xLanguage. 615 0$aImmigrant children$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aEducation, Bilingual 615 0$aAmericanization. 676 $a371.82/691 700 $aSalomone$b Rosemary C$01036870 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789855503321 996 $aTrue American$93862078 997 $aUNINA
