This book brings together cutting edge work by Brazilian
researchers on multilingualism in Brazil for an English-speaking
readership in one comprehensive volume. Divided into five sections,
each with its own introduction, tying together the themes of the
book, the volume charts a course for a new sociolinguistics of
multilingualism, challenging long-held perceptions about a
monolingual Brazil by exploring the different policies, language
resources, ideologies and social identities that have emerged in
the country's contemporary multilingual landscape. The book
elucidates the country's linguistic history to demonstrate its
evolution to its present state, a country shaped by political,
economic, and cultural forces both locally and globally, and
explores different facets of today's multilingual Brazil, including
youth on the margins and their cultural and linguistic practices;
the educational challenges of socially marginalized groups; and
minority groups' efforts to strengthen languages of identity and
belonging. In addition to assembling linguistic research done in
Brazil previously little known to an English-speaking readership,
the book incorporates theoretical frameworks from other disciplines
to provide a comprehensive picture of the social, political, and
cultural dynamics at play in multilingual Brazil. This volume is
key reading for researchers in linguistic anthropology,
sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, cultural studies, and Latin
American studies.
