Reviews

Expertly and affectionately choreographed by Nancy Hornberger and other colleagues and former students, Richard Ruiz emerges from these pages not only as a brilliantly original scholar but also as a passionate advocate for equity and an inspirational, warm, and funny friend and mentor.

This book is both a tribute to a remarkable man and a passionate call for social and educational change. Richard Ruiz was a quiet and persistent leader in education research and theory. The volume advances his theories through the reproduction of his own pieces and the publication of those who studied and worked with Richard over many years. The volume is his legacy to the field and will be a treat and an education for all who read it.

Richard Ruiz’s influence on the fields of language policy and language education has been immense. His scholarship was always especially elegant and insightful. It was also, crucially, always grounded in social justice and a related commitment to effecting positive change for bilingual and minoritized students. His untimely death has robbed us of not only a great academic but also a remarkable person. But this is all the more reason why this collection is so important, because in reading it we can still clearly hear his voice, see his vision, and understand the significance, reach and influence of his work.
