"The Hills confront far more than what is 'sayable' in terms of Mexicano grammar; they deal with what is actually said, with the relationship between Spanish and Mexicano as resources in the community's linguistic repertoire. . . . One of the major studies of language contact produced within the past forty years."--Language

"The genius of this work is the integration of the linguistic analysis with the cultural and political analysis."--Latin American Anthropology Review
