While certain national and linguistic expressions are privileged, others are silenced with predictable racial and gendered results. Decolonizing American Spanish challenges not only the hegemony of Spain and its colonial pedagogies, but also the characterization of Spanish as a foreign language in the United States. By foregrounding Latin American cultures and local varieties of Spanish and reconceptualizing the foreign as domestic, Jeffrey Herlihy-Mera works to create new conceptual maps, revise inherited ones, and institutionalize marginalized and silenced voices and their stories. Considering the University of Puerto Rico as a point of context, this book brings attention to how translingual solidarity and education, a commitment to social transformation, and the engagement of student voices in their own languages can reinvent colonized education"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aPitt Latin American series. 606 $aEducation, Higher$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aEducation, Higher$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aEurocentrism$zUnited States 606 $aHispanic Americans$xEducation 606 $aSpanish language$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aSpanish language$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aSpanish language$zUnited States 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEurocentrism 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xEducation. 615 0$aSpanish language$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aSpanish language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSpanish language 676 $a306.44261073 700 $aHerlihy-Mera$b Jeffrey$01475291 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910795814803321 996 $aDecolonizing American Spanish$93793780 997 $aUNINA
