Spanglish
"In Spanglish, readers will hear critics say that Spanglish bastardizes Standard English and/or Spanish and delays the process of assimilation. The author, a supporter of Spanglish, sees the criticism as proof of how the American empire tries to take apart and destroy competing cultures rather than incorporating them. Stavans thinks that this hybrid form of communication adds dynamism, creativity, and political savvy." - MultiCultural Review
