Abstract

The purpose of this book is to “fill a gap in the literature of the politics of bilingual education in the United States: the role of the legislature in the passage of the 1968 Bilingual Education Act and its aftermath” (p. xi). The authors use Easton's “framework for political analysis” to trace the passage of this legislation. Examined as part of the framework are the environment, inputs, legislative system, and outputs, each of which is covered in separate chapters.
