Spanish of the U.S. Southwest: A Language in Transition
Edited by Susana Rivera-Mills and Daniel Villa
Published by Iberoamericana Vervuert Verlag

Summary: An edited volume divided into five sections: historical linguistics, loss and maintenance, descriptive linguistics, work on language attitudes and identities, and finally language politics and pedagogical issues.

The present volume includes studies of the history of Spanish in the Southwest, its maintenance and the shift to English, descriptive studies of current varieties of the language, issues in attitudes and identities of its speakers, and language politics and policies in Spanish Heritage Speaker pedagogy. In doing so, this book seeks to capture a historic moment in the constantly unfolding linguistic and political realities that both encourage and threaten the existence of Southwest Spanish.
