Summary This collection examines the personal narratives of a select group of educators who attained biliteracy at a young age, and in the era before bilingual education. Their autobiographical accounts celebrate and make visible a linguistic potential that has been largely ignored in schools and underscores the emotional ties that Latinos have to Spanish.--[book cover]
