Bilingual Education and Anti-Racist Education.

Cummins, Jim

Interracial Books for Children Bulletin, v17 n3-4 p9-12 1986

Bilingual education is inherently political because it involves power relations between dominant and dominated groups. Effective anti-racist bilingual programs will be vehemently resisted by the dominant group despite research evidence because they threaten the power of the dominant group. (LHW)
