Dreams of Reality
Have you ever wondered if you might be living a dream? How do you know what is real and what is illusion? The popular movie "The Matrix" explored this theme a few years ago with great effect. Yet this is a serious question requiring serious thought. The book "Dreams of Reality", written from a scientifi c perspective, takes the reader on an intellectual journey through the various aspects and dimensions of reality, from our current state of understanding to the so-called metaphysical. You may find a number of surprising and thought-provoking vistas along this yellow-brick road. Consider them with an open mind and then let your intuition tell you where the dream ends and reality begins.

Becoming the System
Bilingual education is usually framed as a tool of antiracism. This book challenges that framing by pointing to the ways that the foundations of modern approaches to bilingual education have their roots deficit perspectives of Latinx communities. It connects these deficit perspectives with a broader shift in discussions of race that framed racial inequities as a product of cultural and linguistic deficiencies of racialized communities as opposed to structural barriers produced by centuries of racist policies. It then examines the ways that Latinx professionals who entered the field of bilingual education were expected to adopt this deficit perspective in ways that served to maintain racial oppression.
The Responsible Methodologist
Aaron Kuntz challenges qualitative researchers to reconceptualize methodological work away from the technocratic toward an intervention for progressive social change. Inviting creativity and vision, and featuring studies that have incorporated these characteristics, he insists that the responsible methodologist become a force akin to parrhesia, Foucault’s risky truth-tellers.

A Minimalist Approach to Intrasentential Code Switching
First Published in 1999. Code switching is widely used in bilingual communities worldwide, and has been found in government documents, literature, religious works, and song. Pursuing this aim here, chapter 1 addresses the relevance of the study of code switching for education and schooling, focusing on ways in which a misunderstanding of code switching may lead to tacit tracking effects for language-minority children.

Critical Literacy
In Critical Literacy Eugene F. Provenzo Jr. challenges E. D. Hirsch's assumptions about culture and education. Calling for a broader and more democratic vision than Hirsch, Provenzo critiques Hirsch's legacy up through the current conservative educational agenda for education which, he argues, denies, not only the United States' diversity, but its democratic traditions of democratic participation. His book shows why critical faculties and skills of students are essential not only to the success of individual students but to their participation in a healthy democracy. Provenzo offers a list of 5,000 things every educated American ought to know-- none of them the same items as those included on Hirsch's list in Cultural Literacy. Critical Literacy is essential reading for those concerned with our schools and the future of our children.
