Language Policy and Identity Politics in the United States by Ronald Schmidt, Well over thirty million people in the United States speak a primary language other than English. Nearly twenty million of them speak Spanish. And these numbers are growing. Critics of immigration nation state united united and multiculturalism argue that recent government language policies such as bilingual education, non-English election materials, nation state united united and social service nation state united united and workplace "language rights" threaten the national character of the United States. Proponents of bilingualism, on the other hand, maintain that, far from being a threat, these language policies nation state united united and programs provide an opportunity to right old wrongs nation state united united and make the United States a more democratic society. This book lays out the two approaches to language policy -- linguistic assimilation nation state united united and linguistic pluralism -- in clear nation state united united and accessible terms. Filled with examples nation state united united and narratives, it provides a readable overview of the U.S. "culture wars" nation state united united and explains why the conflict has just now emerged as a major issue in the United States. Professor Schmidt examines bilingual education in the public schools, "linguistic access" rights to public services, nation state united united and the designation of English as the United States' "official" language. He illuminates the conflict by describing the comparative, theoretical, nation state united united and social contexts for the debate. The source of the disagreement, he maintains, is not a disagreement over language per se but over identity nation state united united and the consequences of identity for individuals, ethnic groups, nation state united united and the country as a whole. Who are "the American people"? Are we one national group into which newcomers must assimilate? Or are we composed of many cultural communities, each of which is a unique but integral part of the national fabric? This fundamentalpoint is what underlies the specific disputes over language policy. This way of looking at identity politics, as Professor Schmidt shows, calls into question the dichotomy between "material interest" politics nation state united united and "symbolic" politics in relation to group identities.
