Dual Language as White Property: Examining a Secondary Bilingual-Education Program and Latinx Equity
American Educational Research Journal, v58 n6 p1107-1141 Dec 2021
This critical race ethnography examines a secondary-level dual-language (DL) program, a bilingual-education model thought to provide Latinxs educational equity. Drawing from a three-stage recursive analytic approach, I present evidence that a DL program's policies and practices valued offering Latinx youth biliterate schooling only so long as DL was available and advantageous to Whites--which ultimately excluded some Latinx students from bilingual education and/or accessing its benefits. I theorize DL functions as white property when DL perpetuates racial hierarchies and preserves the value of a white racial identity, thereby maintaining Whites' inequitable material accumulation. I problematize the logic of DL--highlighting that DL has the elitist tendencies of world-language education--and assess DL's potential to deliver educational justice to Latinxs.
