A selection of Professor Fishman's writings, during the past two
decades, on language and ethnicity in minority perspective, this
volume concentrates on six major topics: * What is ethnicity and
how is it linked to language? * Language maintenance and language
shift in ethnocultural perspective * The ethnic dimension in
language planning * Language and ethnicity in education: the
bilingual minority focus * Elites and rank-and-file: contrasts and
contexts * Ethnolinguistic homogeneity and heterogeneity: national
and international causes and consequences. Each major topic is
prefaced by a specially written introduction, as is the volume as a
whole, thereby integrating the material and focusing it on minority
group concerns. Joshua Fishman's well-known dedication to worldwide
cultural democracy and cultural pluralism, not only as moral
imperatives but as empirical assets, shines through all of these
selections and unifies them philosophically as well as
scientifically.
