'Much has been written about language loss and of restrictive language policies in the United States, but what makes this book important is its broad sociocultural lens rooted in a postcolonial perspective, as well as the analysis of local US cases within a global framework of English hegemony. Bringing together critical scholars from around the world, the book offers a unique study of the historical and economic roots of English only policies in the United States and its effects on the material conditions of minoritized populations.' - Ofelia García, City University of New York, USA
