"Este libro busca articular un conjunto coherente de saberes, análisis de casos concretos de representación y autorepresentación mediática de la movilidad humana. Se indaga en materiales audiovisuales que reflejan las desigualdades geopolíticas, al tiempo que las particularidades de países emisores, de tránsito y receptores de personas migrantes y refugiadas. Se pone especial atención al eje hispánico-Atlántico y a las fronteras existentes en Europa y América. Además, a lo largo del libro, se atiende particularmente a representaciones alternativas o autorepresentaciones mediáticas que construyen imágenes sobre la migración, el desplazamiento y el refugio que interseccionan con elementos de desigualdad como son el género o la raza entre otros. Representaciones que desafían las narrativas con las que se les miserabiliza o criminaliza, cobrando sentidos distintos a los que ofrecen las representaciones hegemónicas y agenciándose de formas diversas y disruptivas"--

Spanish is spoken as a first language by almost 400 million people in approximately 60 countries, and has been the subject of numerous political processes and debates since it began to spread globally from Iberia in the thirteenth century. A Political History of Spanish brings together a team of experts to analyze the metalinguistic origins of Spanish and evaluate it as a discursively constructed artefact; that is to say, as a language which contains traces of the society in which it is produced, and of the discursive traditions that are often involved and invoked in its creation. This is a comprehensive and provocative new work which takes a fresh look at Spanish from specific political and historical perspectives, combining the traditional chronological organization of linguistic history and spatial categories such as Iberia, Latin America and the US, whilst simultaneously identifying the limits of these organizational principles.

Bilingualism has given rise to significant changes in Spanish-speaking countries. In the US, the increasing importance of Spanish has engendered an English-only movement; in Peru, contact between Spanish and Quechua has brought about language change; and in Iberia, speakers of Basque, Galician and Catalan have made their languages a compulsory part of school curricula and local government. This book provides an introduction to bilingualism in the Spanish-speaking world, looking at topics such as language contact, bilingual societies, bilingualism in schools, code-switching, language transfer, the emergence of new varieties of Spanish, and language choice - and how all of these phenomena affect the linguistic and cognitive development of the speaker. Using examples and case studies drawn primarily from Spanish/English bilinguals in the US, Spanish/Quechua bilinguals in Peru and Spanish/Basque bilinguals in Spain, it provides diverse perspectives on the experience of being bilingual in distinct cultural, political and socioeconomic contexts.
