Minority Language Promotion, Protection and Regulation blends a
discussion of the role of official language strategies with an
analysis as to how both strategies and legislation are implemented
in a variety of contexts ranging from Catalonia, The Basque
Country, Finland, Ireland and Wales to Canada at both federal and
provincial level. It is an authoritative guide and reference volume
which tracks recent influences on official language strategy from a
legislative, political, social and economic perspective. As both
activist and critic, Colin Williams provides a fresh and
challenging interpretation of the manner in which formally
discriminated language minorities are now grappling with the
exercise of power and responsibility for language -related
developments within education, the media, local government and the
community. The author poses difficult questions for the wielders of
power and decision-makers whose official pronouncements invariably
support linguistic diversity but whose policy priorities and fiscal
approach tends to undercut the capacity of vibrant communities and
civil servants to deliver ambitious programmes of reform in support
of minority languages.
