Extract

Ana Celia Zentella (ed.), Building on strength: Language and literacy in Latino families and communities. New York: Teachers College Press, 2005. Pp. 224. Pb $23.95.

The 11 essays in Zentella's edited volume investigate language socialization practices of U.S. Latinos and together make possible a conceptualization of Latino language and literacy that resists “a view of Latino parents as monolithic and unconcerned about education” (p. 3). In her introduction, Zentella briefly traces the history of language socialization research and introduces the framework that undergirds the volume.
