  abstract: How long has Spanish been spoken in the United States and how many people speak it today? Is Spanish being passed down through generations? What role does Spanish play in US Latino identity? Analyzing and synthesising data from a wide variety of sources, Escobar and Potowski explore these questions and more in this up-to-date textbook for students of Spanish language, linguistics, bilingualism, sociolinguistics, culture and history. Over 150 exercises help students engage with the linguistic characteristics of Spanish, Spanish-dialect contact, bilingualism, and Spanish communities in the United States. Exercises and examples refer students to external, online sources so they can experience Spanish through a range of media. Concepts are clearly defined with detailed examples for readers who may not have a background in linguistics. Misconceptions about Spanish varieties and Latino communities are addressed, ensuring readers will emerge with a clear understanding of how Latino communities vary linguistically and socioculturally.
