"Overall, the authors do a commendable job of educating the reader on the complexity and importance of how valuing students’ language is critical for them to succeed in our increasingly multilingual, multicultural school environments. It provides a rich discussion of language policies up to and after the passage of the first SRTOL act in 1974, with the editors effectively "unmasking" pedagogical practices that other teachers can draw from to implement SRTOL’s goal of supporting students’ language rights."—Education Review"The book is of great value and is an excellent means of bringing attention to and promoting the principles of the SRTOL resolution…Critical language education scholars who work in the areas of teacher and graduate education will find this book very useful, with some chapters appropriate for use in their own classrooms, and others appropriate for informing their own research and advocacy efforts."—Teachers College Record
