“Although I have yet to use the entire book as a course text, I would do so happily.”  (The Modern Language Journal, 4 September 2014)

“This book, written by one of the most renowned scholars in the field, raises a critical awareness of the complexity of bilingualism in the Spanish-speaking  world in social, cultural and political contexts. It is written in an  accessible style for students and teachers, and thanks to its wide amount of
exercises and discussion topics, can be used for a Spanish bilingualism course or as a self-study textbook. In sum, Montrul offers an updated overview of Spanish in bilingual situations around the world, written in Spanish, which usefully expands upon previous work by Zentella (1997) and Silva-Corvalán (1995).”  (LINGUIST List, 15 July 2013)
