Bilingual Education, Nationalism, and Ethnicity in Mexico: From Theory to Practice.
Hidalgo, Margarita
Language Problems and Language Planning, v18 n3 p185-207 Fall 1994
Describes the model of assimilation of native Mexican peoples to the broader mainstream. Bilingual education (BE), long used as a tool to facilitate language shift, is examined in the light of the superimposed discourse on national identity and nationalism. It is concluded that the demands of the Amerindians have been placated through the politics of accommodation. (46 references) (Author/CK)
