Gorman examines the everyday lived language experiences and ethnolinguistic identities of Mexicanos and Nuevomexicanos together, specifically through the case of mixed Mexicano-Nuevomexicano families. Through an interdisciplinary critical reading of ethnographic data, pl�ticas (informal conversations that gather family and community knowledge), interviews, articles, and historical memoirs, Gorman analyzes language ideologies, identity formations, and language practices by exploring complex spaces of encounter within Mexicano-Nuevomexicano families. \u003ci\u003eZones of Encuentro\u003c\/i\u003e complicates homogeneous notions of language and identity and contemplates what a shared cultural and linguistic homeplace looks like for Mexicanos and Nuevomexicanos in northern New Mexico.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46416054747287,"sku":"9780814259238","price":4077.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780814259238.webp?v=1769061973","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/zones-of-encuentro-language-and-identities-in-northern-new-mexico-9780814259238","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
