(2000). The Constitution of Bilingual/ESL Education as a Disciplinary Practice: Genealogical Explorations, Review of Educational Research. Provides a cultural and political critique of the constitution of bilingual/English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) education as a disciplinary practice in New Mexico. Uses genealogical and postcolonial, poststructural, and critical frameworks to show that the directions advanced by the Chicano/Chicana movement have been lost, replaced by an education that is not emancipatory for marginalized students.
