FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book honors the impactful contributions of Guadalupe Valdes toward equity in multilingual schools and communities. As one of the first language education scholars to examine the vibrant language practices of bilingual users in the US Southwest, her work marked a departure from traditional foreign language approaches and sparked a movement focused on valuing heritage languages and creating more equitable educational systems for young people from linguistically minoritized backgrounds. Influenced by the work of Professor Valdes, the contributors to this book draw on multiple aspects of her research to look at new ways of addressing equity and social justice for multilingual users in schools and communities. Chapters focus on three major areas of her work: the nature of languages and literacies in multilingual contexts, language development in classrooms and communities, and equity and access. At the end of each section, short interludes describe contributors personal experiences of learning from and with Professor Valdes, providing insight into the practices of mentorship and professional development within the field. This volume will appeal to students and researchers across bilingualism, applied linguistics and education, offering an overview of developments in these fields and directions for future research on equity in multilingual educational settings.

Beyond serving as a tribute, this anthology affords readers chapters of high quality, written by scholars who have been influenced by her work and who continue her challenge of orthodoxy, especially in support of language-minoritized communities. Outstanding! * Diane Larsen-Freeman, Professor Emerita, University of Michigan, USA *Guadalupe Valdés contributions are wonderfully documented in this exciting collection by a superb sample of her many students and colegas. They show that languages are living, ever-adapting, embodied ways of knowing and projecting the many social and cultural world views of multilinguals as they creatively navigate transborder systems of policies, national and institutional identity, and human relations anchored in community and family solidarity and pursuit of human rights. * Richard Durán, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA *This book is a powerful reminder that we stand on the shoulders of giants. Honoring the lifes work of Guadalupe Valdés, the contributors strike just the right balance between paying tribute to her legacy and transcending it to offer fresh insight that humanizes the struggles and triumphs of students and teachers striving for equity and linguistic justice. * Francis M.
