Bilingualism for All Raciolinguistic Perspectives on Dual Language Education in the United States
Bilingualism for All?: Raciolinguistic Perspectives on Dual Language Education in the United States By Nelson Flores (editor), Assist. Prof. Amelia Tseng (editor), Assist. Prof. Nicholas Subtirelu (editor)
2020 | 577 Pages | ISBN: 1800410034 | PDF | 3 MB
It is common for scholarly and mainstream discourses on dual language education in the US to frame these programs as inherently socially transformative and to see their proliferation in recent years as a natural means of developing more anti-racist spaces in public schools. In contrast, this book adopts a raciolinguistic perspective that points tothe contradictory role that these programs play in both reproducing and challenging racial hierarchies. The book includes 11 chapters that adopt a range of methodological techniques (qualitative, quantitative and textual), disciplinary perspectives (linguistics, sociology and anthropology) and language foci (Spanish, Hebrew and Korean) to examine the ways that dual language education programs in the US often reinforce the racial inequities that they purport to challenge.

Biblical Epics in Late Antiquity and Anglo-Saxon England Divina in Laude Voluntas

Biblical Epics in Late Antiquity and Anglo-Saxon England Divina in Laude Voluntas
Biblical Epics in Late Antiquity and Anglo-Saxon England: "Divina in Laude Voluntas" By Patrick McBrine
2017 | 398 Pages | ISBN: 0802098533 | PDF | 3 MB
Biblical poetry, written between the fourth and eleventh centuries, is an eclectic body of literature that disseminated popular knowledge of the Bible across Europe. Composed mainly in Latin and subsequently in Old English, biblical versification has much to tell us about the interpretations, genre preferences, reading habits, and pedagogical aims of medieval Christian readers."Biblical Epics in Late Antiquity and Anglo-Saxon England" provides an accessible introduction to biblical epic poetry. Patrick McBrine's erudite analysis of the writings of Juvencus, Cyprianus, Arator, Bede, Alcuin, and more reveals the development of a hybridized genre of writing that informed and delighted its Christian audiences to such an extent it was copied and promoted for the better part of a millennium. The volume contains many first-time readings and discussions of poems and passages which have long lain dormant and offers new evidence for the reception of the Bible in late Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Battling Miss Bolsheviki The Origins of Female Conservatism in the United States

Battling Miss Bolsheviki The Origins of Female Conservatism in the United States
Kirsten Marie Delegard, "Battling Miss Bolsheviki: The Origins of Female Conservatism in the United States "
English | ISBN: 0812243668 | 2012 | 320 pages | PDF | 10 MB
Why did the political authority of well-respected female reformers diminish after women won the vote? In Battling Miss Bolsheviki Kirsten Marie Delegard argues that they were undercut during the 1920s by women conservatives who spent the first decade of female suffrage linking these reformers to radical revolutions that were raging in other parts of the world. In the decades leading up to the Nineteenth Amendment, women activists had enjoyed great success as reformers, creating a political subculture with settlement houses and women's clubs as its cornerstones. Female volunteers piloted welfare programs as philanthropic ventures and used their organizations to pressure state, local, and national governments to assume responsibility for these programs.
