In the U.S., we debate linguistic rights, the need for an official language, and educational policies for language minority students. On the one hand, we believe in the rights of individuals, including (at least in the academy) the right to one's own language. On the other hand, we sponsor a single common language, monolingual and standard, for full participation and communication in both the academy and in U.S. society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDiverse by Design, \u003c\/i\u003e Christopher Schroeder reports on an institutional case study conducted at an officially designated Hispanic-Serving Institution. He gives particular attention to a cohort of Latino students in a special admissions program, to document their experience of a program designed to help students surmount the \"obstacle\" that ethnolinguistic diversity is perceived to be. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ultimately, Schroeder argues for reframing multilingualism and multiculturalism, not as obstacles, but as intellectual resources to exploit. While diversity might disturb us, we can overcome its challenges by a more expansive sense of social identity. In an increasingly globalized society, literacy ideologies are ever more critical to educational equity, and to human lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Schroeder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0874218063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780874218060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Utah State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2011 pg. 218","brand":"Christopher Schroeder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48013826326783,"sku":"9780874218060","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5466d739-0e23-41ac-ac35-1698243853fb.jpg?v=1767745007","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/diverse-by-design-christopher-schroeder-9780874218060","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
