In her groundbreaking and innovative study, the author takes us on
a fascinating journey through some of Madrid's multilingual and
multicultural schools and reveals the role played by linguistic
practices in the construction of inequality through such processes
as what she calls "de-capitalization" and "ethnicization". Through
a critical sociolinguistic and discourse analysis of the data
collected in an ethnographic study, the book shows the exclusion
caused by monolingualizing tendencies and ideologies of deficit in
education and society. The book opens a timely discussion of the
management of diversity in multilingual and multicultural
classrooms, both for countries with a long tradition of migration
flows and for those where the phenomenon is relatively new, as is
the case in Spain. This study of linguistic practices in the
classroom makes clear the need to rethink some key linguistic
concepts, such as practice, competence, discourse, and language,
and to integrate different approaches in qualitative research. The
volume is essential reading for students and researchers working in
sociolinguistics, education and related areas, as well as for all
teachers and social workers who deal with the increasing
heterogeneity of our late modern societies in their work.
