The chapters describe and analyze pedagogical, instructional, and policy efforts to develop multilingualism through school with different targeted populations -- immigrant students, indigenous peoples, traditional minorities, majorities, and multiethnic/multilingual groups. Each contribution, many written by well-known scholars in the field of bilingual and multilingual education, affirms the desirability of multilingualism as a societal resource and as a right of individuals, while acknowledging the social, economic and political differences that make the acquisition of multilingualism easy for some, and difficult for others. And yet, the book focuses on the school as a place of promise and resistance, having the potential to preserve, recover, and expand the world's linguistic diversity. The introduction, written by the co-editors, identifies the conceptual threads that are developed throughout the chapters. But the chapters themselves remind us of the importance of local conditions, despite the global pressures of the 21st century, in imagining and creating multilingual educational spaces. 410 0$aLinguistic diversity and language rights ;$v2. 606 $aEducation, Bilingual$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aLanguage and education$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aMulticultural education$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aMultilingualism$vCross-cultural studies 615 0$aEducation, Bilingual 615 0$aLanguage and education 615 0$aMulticultural education 615 0$aMultilingualism 676 $a370.117 701 $aGarci?a$b Ofelia$0175920 701 $aSkutnabb-Kangas$b Tove$0280100 701 $aTorres-Guzma?n$b Maria E$0999964 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826565103321 996 $aImagining multilingual schools$94043785 997 $aUNINA
