| Title | Book: True American: Language, Identity, and the Education of Immigrant Children |
| Body | From http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674046528 True American: Language, Identity, and the Education of Immigrant Children by Rosemary Salomone Publisher: Harvard University Press In this ambitious book, Rosemary Salomone uses the heated debate over how best to educate immigrant children as a way to explore what national identity means in an age of globalization, transnationalism, and dual citizenship. She demolishes popular myths—that bilingualism impedes academic success, that English is under threat in contemporary America, that immigrants are reluctant to learn English, or that the ancestors of today’s assimilated Americans had all to gain and nothing to lose in abandoning their family language. She argues eloquently that multilingualism can and should be part of a meaningful education and responsible national citizenship in a globalized world.
