This book is a multidisciplinary analysis of the meaning and
dynamics of multilingualism from the perspectives of multilingual
societies and language communities in the margins, who are trapped
in a vicious circle of disadvantage. It analyses the social,
psychological and sociolinguistic processes of linguistic dominance
and hierarchical relationships among languages, discrimination,
marginalisation and assertive maintenance in multilingualism
characterised by a Double Divide, and shows the relationship
between educational neglect of languages, capability deprivation
and poverty, and loss of linguistic diversity. Its comparative
analysis of language-in-education policies and practices and
applications of multilingual education (MLE) in diverse contexts
shows some promises and challenges in the education of
indigenous/tribal/minority children. This book will be of interest
to students, researchers, educators and practitioners in
sociolinguistics, educational linguistics, psycholinguistics,
multilingualism and bilingual/multilingual education.
