Remaking Multilingualism Summary

Remaking Multilingualism: A Translanguaging Approach by Bahar Otcu-Grillman

This book is both a collection of cutting-edge research in the areas of multilingualism, translanguaging and bilingual education by leading scholars in these fields, and a tribute to the research and influence of Ofelia Garcia. The chapters use a variety of methodological approaches and research designs to address topics across language policy, sociology of language and bilingual education, representing the full breadth of Ofelia Garcia's scholarship. Combined with the empirical chapters are more personal chapters which testify to the contributions Ofelia has made as a mentor, colleague and friend. The book recognizes Ofelia Garcia's place at the centre of a movement to remake multilingualism in the service of linguistic equality, justice, pluralism, diversity and inclusion in schools and societies worldwide.

Remaking Multilingualism Reviews

This book is both a richly deserved tribute to Ofelia Garcia and a text that helps develop the fast-moving and increasingly popular concept of 'translanguaging', with contributions by many eminent scholars. A must-read for those many scholars and students who admire not only Ofelia's writings but also her warm and empathic personality, it makes a major contribution to the study of translanguaging. * Colin Baker, Emeritus Professor, Bangor University, UK *
This inspirational volume honoring Ofelia Garcia's lifelong scholarship is a must read that will deepen our understanding of how theories of bilingualism and translanguaging, educational policy, and educational practices can further the racial and social justice work in support of racialized and minoritized bi/multilingual communities. * Maite T. Sanchez, Hunter College, City University of New York, USA *
