Reviews

"""...This book is sufficiently brought up to date to be a valuable addition to the current literature in the field...a very thorough and compelling ethnographic study of a minority language school and especially of the daily language practices of that school; this approach raises questions not only about language policy in schools and classrooms but also about issues of power, ideology, and identity. Without question, this is a valuable and worthwhile work, and one that deserves our attention."" -Timothy Reagan, Studies in Second Language Acquisition, December 2008 'A tightly written, well-researched and intellectually engaging analysis of a French-language high school in English-dominant Ontario.' -- Journal of Sociolinguistics"
