Reviews
Fuller's book shows how a single practice-code switching among elementary school children in school-can assume different forms and have dramatically different meanings in two different historical and ideological contexts. Her analysis of elite bilingualism in a German school-and its comparison to a US Latino site--will help US scholars of bilingualism to see the historical and political particularity of the bilingual situations most studied in the US, that of the immigrant second generation. -Benjamin Bailey, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

It would also be helpful for students seeking an understanding of sociolinguistic research methodologies."" - Haomin Zhang, LINGUIST List
