Reviews

Professor Morita-Mullaney's book is a fascinating account of the Chinese American struggle and victory for bilingual education. Employing powerful first-hand accounts, she details not only this community's valiant efforts to win language rights but also to implement bilingual/bicultural education as fully as possible. * Russell Jeung, San Francisco State University, USA *
