{"product_id":"the-politics-of-language-in-amlcar-antonio-barreto-9781683401131","title":"The Politics of Language in Puerto Rico: Revisited","description":"In 1991, the Puerto Rican government abolished bilingualism, claiming that \"Spanish only\" was necessary to protect the culture from North American influences. A few years later bilingualism was restored and English was promoted in public schools. This revised edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Politics of Language in Puerto Rico\u003c\/i\u003e is updated with an emphasis on the dual arenas where the language controversy played out-Puerto Rico and the United States Congress-and includes new data on the connections between language and conflicting notions of American identity. This book shows that officials in both San Juan and Washington, along with English-first groups, used these language laws as weapons in the battle over U.S.-Puerto Rican relations and the volatile debate over statehood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Am?car Antonio Barreto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1683401131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683401131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Florida Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Am?car Antonio Barreto","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43937266303231,"sku":"9781683401131","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8430a010-2cfb-46c3-a9a5-f6bb55a85dc7.jpg?v=1681429063","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-language-in-amlcar-antonio-barreto-9781683401131","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
