Book Synopsis Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Linguistic Heritage by : Alejandra Balestra
Book excerpt: In this fascinating exploration of the development of the Spanish language from a sociohistorical perspective in the territory that has become the United States, linguists and editors Balestra, Martcop. {Uhorn}nez, and Moyna draw attention to the long tradition of multilingualism in the United States in the hope of putting to rest the myth that the U.S. was ever a monolingual nation.
