Spanish So White

<p>Explicit discussions of race and racial identity have traditionally been omitted from Spanish language education in the US - especially in curricula designed for imagined 'native' speakers of English. Consequences of this de-racialization of Spanish language learning include the perpetuation of institutional racisms and missed opportunities to build productive conversations about the ways race and power are enacted through language. <em>Spanish So White</em> is written specifically for secondary and post-secondary teachers who identify as White and second language learners of Spanish. It supports the development of language education that centers a racially dynamic Spanish-speaking world and challenges interpersonal and institutional forms of racism. Author Adam Schwartz shares stories of his own socialization into Whiteness and Spanish-English bilingualism. He invites readers into the work of reconciling privileges they too may share as White Spanish-language learners and teachers.<br /> <br /> Additional resources for the book are available to download here: <a href=https://www.multilingual-matters.com/page/ssw/>https://www.multilingual-matters.com/page/ssw/</a>. </p>
