▼ This dissertation is an exploration of the politics of cultural citizenship in California as manifested on the terrain of debates about bilingual education policy and practice. A multisited ethnography, I followed the politics of cultural citizenship across two sites: locally amongst African-American, Latino and white school community members on a South Central Los Angeles elementary campus and nationally in popular media discourses. I tracked how people talked about and negotiated dynamics of belonging, solidarities and borders, and access to rights, voice, and opportunity. A longitudinal study, I first conducted research in 1996 as the local school dealt with rapid demographic change and the institutionalization of a Spanish-English bilingual program. In 1998-2000 I returned to follow the implementation of California's controversial "English For The Children" Proposition 227. I examined how discourses about language/s in school were coconstitutive with those about immigration, race, culture, nation and struggle for material gain; and how these discourses and policy agendas were complex and shifting across local and national contexts. As a teacher in the school community before and during research I provide an insider's reflections on these heady times of social and pedagogical change, and an account of the activist projects I undertook to facilitate community dialogue about policy, practice and struggles for cultural citizenship. This dissertation contributes to knowledge about key dimensions of cultural citizenship: about how people imagine community and each others' places within it across local and national sites; about the co-constructed nature of lived experiences of and discourses about language, race, nation/immigration, culture and material competition; and about relationships to policy as both received mandate and local cultural-pedagogical resource—and the implication of these for struggles for equity. It contributes to work in critical studies of cultural production in schools; to work on language, race, ideology and power; and to literature in "native" anthropology and activist/teacher research. It pushes educators, anthropologists and policy makers to consider bilingual education as more than just a "Latino issue," but as a complex constellation of interests and practices at play as communities become increasingly diverse across multiple axes of difference/connection and as they negotiate what the socially legitimate means and ends of the collective are to be, and whose knowledge is of most worth.

▼ A direct democracy initiative that placed restrictions on bilingual education was codified into the California Education Code by the passage of Proposition 227 in 1998. This initiative attempted to address the problem of educating the current 1.4 million English learners enrolled in public schools who continue to lag behind native-English-speaking students academically (California Department of Education, 2013; Umansky & Reardon, 2014). This study focused on policy entrepreneurs in relation to Proposition 227 – both proponents and opponents of the Proposition – and the political strategies they employed to garner support for their preferred policies via the mass media. Research shows the attention newspapers give to education, including language education policy, can influence the education of immigrant students and ELs (Wright, 2005). The methodological approach employed to study the political language used by policy entrepreneurs, interpretive policy analysis, and the guiding conceptual framework, political spectacle, aligned well to help uncover and understand the generation of meaning(s) by policy entrepreneurs and media around Proposition 227. Political spectacle is constructed via the language and images the media use when presenting political views and often serves to distort public policies and maintain the status quo (Edelman, 1988). An in-depth media study was conducted that included data from California newspapers covering three regions across the state and videos downloaded from a popular social media site. Findings revealed spectacle around Proposition 227 including the use of symbolic language to depict bilingual education as a failure, the casting of immigrant students as objects, and the enactment of dramatic actions that benefited the policy entrepreneurs rather than the immigrant students. The study also revealed Proposition 227 to exemplify the joining of three streams – problem, policy, and political – which opened a window through which the authors of Proposition 227 were able to push their policy (Kingdon, 1995). The study suggests that attending to the political language used by policy entrepreneurs can shed light on the political strategies that work to convey influential policy messages via the media. This insight should aid in the development of more effective and equitable language education policies in the future.
