Patrice Lacroix
reviewed Standard English on May 19, 2007 Standard English
I believe that the synosis of the book has done a pretty good job describing what the book is about. I particularly like the way the author utilizes Anderson's concept of "imagined communities" to analyze the processes which encourage bilingualism in some children and not the others. And I also appreciate the author's acknowledgement of conflicting tendencies even within a school, owing to the different imagination of the different agencies involved.
