This book makes an important contribution to the growing debate on
linguistic human rights. By bringing together research on language
rights, language 'survival' and minority language planning in
specific contexts from Africa, Asia, Central and North America and
Europe, it aims to illustrate how current conceptualizations of
language rights can sometimes stand in the way of their successful
realization. The book considers such theoretical and practical
issues as: the constitution of ethnic identities and their links
with language; relations between language, politics and power;
language ecology and revitalization movements; the dominance of
particular models of language, their appropriateness to particular
contexts and their relationship to speakers' own perceptions. It is
targeted towards a wide readership in the fields of sociology,
sociolinguistics and anthropology, language rights law, and
language policy and planning.
