Bridging the fields of youth studies and language planning and
policy, this book takes a close, nuanced look at Indigenous youth
bi/multilingualism across diverse cultural and linguistic settings,
drawing out comparisons, contrasts, and important implications for
language planning and policy and for projects designed to curtail
language loss. Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars with
longstanding ties to language planning efforts in diverse
Indigenous communities examine language policy and planning as de
facto and de jure - as covert and overt, bottom-up and top-down.
This approach illuminates crosscutting themes of language identity
and ideology, cultural conflict, and linguistic human rights as
youth negotiate these issues within rapidly changing
sociolinguistic contexts. A distinctive feature of the book is its
chapters and commentaries by Indigenous scholars writing about
their own communities. This landmark volume stands alone in
offering a look at diverse Indigenous youth in multiple endangered
language communities, new theoretical, empirical, and
methodological insights, and lessons for intergenerational language
planning in dynamic sociocultural contexts.
