What happens when bilingual education activists gain the right to coordinate schooling from upper-level state offices? The intercultural bilingual school system in Ecuador has been one of the most prominent examples of Indigenous education in Central and South America. Since its establishment in 1988, members of Ecuador\u2019s <em>pueblos<\/em> and nationalities have worked from state institutions to coordinate a second national school system that includes the teaching of Indigenous languages. Based on more than two years of ethnographic research in Ecuador\u2019s Ministry of Education, at international and national conferences, in workshops, in schools, and with families, <em>Recognizing Indigenous Languages<\/em> considers how state agents carry out linguistic and educational politics in eras of greater inclusivity and multiculturalism. This book shows how institutional advances for bilingual education and Indigenous languages have been premised on affirming the equality\u2014and the equivalency\u2014of the linguistic and cultural practices of members of Indigenous <em>pueblos<\/em> and nationalities with other Ecuadorians. Major responsibilities like serving as national state agents, crafting a standardized variety of Kichwa, and teaching Indigenous languages in schools provide vast authority, representation, and visibility for those languages and their speakers. However, the everyday work of directing a school system and making Kichwa a language of the state includes double binds that work against the very goals of autonomous schooling and getting people to speak and write Kichwa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Recognizing Indigenous Languages: Double Binds of State Policy and Teaching Kichwa in Ecuador 2023, Oxford University Press What follows when state institutions name historically oppressed languages as official?
