Subject: Crawford's "Hold Your Tongue"



I assume some ADS members (perhaps many) have seen James Crawford's book "Hold

Your Tongue: Bilingualism and the Politics of 'English Only'" (Addison-Wesley,

1992). I've given it a fairly close reading and wondered what the general

opinion of this book is, and in particular, how credible Crawford's assertions

are concerning the funding sources for US English (links to Federation for

American Immigration Reform and the Pioneer Fund, for example).
