This book provides a valuable insight into the past and present situation of Mexican indigenous languages (MIL). It delves into the dynamics of power that emerged in the Mexican colony as a result of the presence of Spanish, today the dominant language in all public domains. After almost five hundred years, the imbalance of power-sharing functions created the need for structural changes that resulted in the new legislation of 2003. The book also offers innovative classifications of MIL, trends of bilingualism, and new programs of bilingual education. It reinterprets the chronology of language policy in the early colonial period and provides the rationale for reversing language shift in the twenty-first century.

Mexican Indigenous Languages at the Dawn of the Twenty-First Century
Overall, the message of the story is that people learn languages according to different cognitive styles in different situations.
The book is very dense and somewhat hard to read since lots of information is just thrown at you. If you really want to read this, then I suggest you keep a pen and paper or a highlight nearby to take notes.
The authors use lots of scientific and linguistic jargon, which makes this book a bit inaccessible to everyday readers. It's not a "pop psych" book. They definitely know what they're talking about since they mention most of the major studies done on second language acquisition. Long story short, the book contains a lot of useful information, but it may be hard for an average, non-scientific and/or non-linguistic, person to read.
For example, beforehand, I read some of the research studies that they quote, so I knew what they were talking about most of the time, but I have no linguistic background. When they delve deeper into the nitty-gritty linguistic terms, it takes a lot of processing to keep things straight.
