Description

Growing up Bilingual provides an in-depth look at the social construction of bilingualism within one of the largest and most disadvantaged Spanish-speaking groups in the US. This book offers a unique perspective on the experiences of Puerto Rican children growing up in New York, shedding light on the complexities of language and identity. Ana Celia Zentella's research explores the ways in which bilingualism is shaped by social context, culture, and individual circumstances. By examining the lives of these children, Zentella sheds new light on the dynamics of bilingualism and its implications for education, psychology, and society as a whole.
