Review of New Languages of the State: Indigenous Resurgence and the Politics of Knowledge in Bolivia By Bret Gustafson
Full text linkBret Gustafson has produced an encyclopedic, and at times epical, account of the bilingual education project in Bolivia as it transpired and evolved in the Guarani setting over the last few decades. Strategically situated as outside advisor, as collaborator in materials production, and as ethnographer of the project, Gustafson enjoyed access to the multiple realms of action that defined the progress of EIB, educación intercultural bilingüe, “bilingual intercultural education,” as it played out in Guarani communities, in the corridors of bureaucratic intrigue, in the programs of NGOs, and in the campaigns of political actors. There are many valuable lessons that emerge from this protracted engagement with every facet of the project. One of these is that the quest to modify educational policy and practice to encompass indigenous languages and worldviews quickly expands into cultural and political zones far removed from the purely educational; a second is that there are no easy answers, few villains or heroes, and instead of these palliatives, a great many figures and moments defined by the qualities of ambivalence and ambiguity. In a way, Gustafson’s book can be read as a caution against seeking simple solutions to complex social problems. But it would not be accurate to say that Gustafson counsels against taking up this good fight, for even if happy resolutions are not forthcoming, it is still the case that projects in bilingual intercultural education can achieve some amelioration of colonial structures of power distribution, and perhaps most significantly, can enable indigenous peoples to push ahead in a political project in which educational concerns constitute only one fragment in a larger agenda

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
