Explicit discussions of race and racial identity have traditionally
been omitted from Spanish language education in the US – especially
in curricula designed for imagined 'native' speakers of English.
Consequences of this de-racialization of Spanish language learning
include the perpetuation of institutional racisms and missed
opportunities to build productive conversations about the ways race
and power are enacted through language. Spanish So White is written
specifically for secondary and post-secondary teachers who identify as
White and second language learners of Spanish. It supports the
development of language education that centers a racially dynamic
Spanish-speaking world and challenges interpersonal and institutional
forms of racism. Author Adam Schwartz shares stories of his
own socialization into Whiteness and Spanish-English bilingualism. He
invites readers into the work of reconciling privileges they too may
share as White Spanish-language learners and teachers. Additional
