This book juxtaposes superdiversity with the reality of
English-centricity in the United States, set against the
long-standing challenges regarding migration and language policy in
the US, most recently underlined by Donald Trump's 2016 election
win and subsequent aggressive and partially successful attempts to
limit migration. The book explores the history, policies, and
practices of an adolescent newcomer program in Central Ohio, in the
US Midwest, that seeks to provide an equitable and engaging
education to its students. It addresses, on the one hand, positive,
progressive institutional responses, including an embrace of
translanguaging and a willingness to acknowledge and build on
students' languacultural backgrounds. On the other hand, the book
explores the effects of inconsistent, inefficient and sometimes
nonsensical patterns in these responses. The book analyzes student
outcomes and argues that, although some students are well-served by
the program, tensions in the program lead to uneven, and even
troubling, behavior and results, ranging from poor academic
performance to dropping out. Finally, the book addresses ongoing
evolutions and debates to the program and their potential to
realize the program's aspirations.
