Um, but, you know, what was Operation Bootstrap? What ramifications did it have, particularly for Puerto Rican immigration?
8:39
Yeah.

So a raciolinguistic genealogy, which is a kind of the methodological approach I take in the book, um, which I lay out in the second chapter of the book, right, seems to, seeks to understand the interrelationship between race and language across time.
8:53
So it's not a traditional history.
8:55
There have been lots of histories of bilingual education in the United States, and they're great, right? So, but this is doing something a little different than that.

This isn't trying to document the chronology of events across time that has shaped bilingual education.
9:09
Instead, it's kind of what I would call, um, a history of discourse.

8:43
And it's a history of the continuities and discontinuities of discourse across time, meaning what has changed across time, but perhaps even more importantly, what has remained the same across time, which helps us to kind of see things that maybe we would now see as fundamentally racist, are really not that different from how oftentimes our students are described today, right? And the power of genealogy is that can help us to see these links across time and to see that oftentimes the more things change, the more they stay the same.
