Title: Cinco de mayo: To Celebrate or Not To Celebrate?
Body: From http://www.nclrc.org/cultureclub/speakers_corner.html#cinco Cinco de mayo: To Celebrate or Not To Celebrate? By Sheila Cockey April 2010 “Let me state up front: I do not celebrate the 5th of May in my classes. I commemorate it. In my mind it is more of an American holiday than a Mexican one. Why? My opinion only, but…It is more an American holiday because it is the result of an advertising blitz created by the marketers of a specific Mexican beer, with the desire to increase sales in the U.S.” Read the full article at http://www.nclrc.org/cultureclub/speakers_corner.html#cinco Access other NCLRC Culture Club resources and articles at http://nclrc.org/cultureclub/current_directory.html

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.
