This volume aims to capture evidence of marginalized voices in
various contexts globally and show how speakers seek to reclaim
their voices and challenge power relations. The chapters reveal how
speakers actively confront inequities in society such as the
unequal distribution of resources. Through bottom-up initiatives
and conscious involvement in language use, documentation and the
development of language domains, speakers can address issues of
language-based marginalization, (re)establish linguistic human
rights and reclaim their linguistic and cultural identity. Chapters
in the volume explore commitments to democratic participation, to
voice, to the heterogeneity of linguistic resources and to the
political value of sociolinguistic understanding. Drawing upon the
framework of linguistic citizenship, they link questions of
language to sociopolitical discourses of justice, rights and
equity, as well as to issues of power and access within a political
and democratic framework.
