Richard Rodriguez on Bilingual Education

Abstract: A 4 page research paper that examines writer and scholar Richard Rodriguez's autobiography Hunger of Memory to determine the author's opinions regarding bilingual education. Even though he grew up bilingual as the son of Mexican immigrants, Rodriguez is against bilingual education. The writer outlines his thoughts, which are based primarily on his conception of the use of public and private language in society. He argues that English fluency is a necessary component in becoming a functioning part of the larger public society. Quotations from the source. Bibliography lists book itself as only source.
