In this wide-ranging and provocative book, García examines the history and current state of bilingual education programs throughout the world, offers a critical reading of the current conversations around them, and invites readers toimagine a new paradigm for the 21st century: one based on the idea of multilingual fluidity as a social and cultural imperative in a globalized world. Questioning assumptions regarding language, bilingualism, and bilingual education,Bilingual Education in the 21st Century proposes a new theoretical framework and alternative views of teaching and assessment practices.
