Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
A very welcome contribution, as it fills a much needed gap in the field . . . . This book provides the reader with a comprehensive picture of research trends on Spanish as a Heritage Language in the United States.
Education and linguistics collections alike will find this a solid assessment of practices.
This book is worth having on one’s shelf for the bibliography alone. It is a well-developed compendium of studies in each of the thirteen SHL subfields contained in its chapters, with clear outlines of the research that has been done, problems that occur in each area, and excellent suggestions for future studies. It is a valuable tool for researchers on SHL, Spanish in the United States, teachers of heritage speakers, and heritage speakers themselves.
