The Politics of Palestinian Multilingualism: Speaking for
Citizenship provides an essential contribution to understanding the
politics of Israel/Palestine through the prism of sociolinguistics
and discourse analysis. Arabic-speakers who also know Hebrew resort
to a range of communicative strategies for their political ideas to
be heard: they either accommodate or resist the Israeli
institutional suppression of Arabic. They also codeswitch and
borrow from Hebrew as well as from Arabic registers and styles in
order to mobilise discursive authority. On political and cultural
stages, multilingual Palestinian politicians and artists challenge
the existing political structures. In the late capitalist market,
language skills are re-packaged as commodified resources. With new
evidence from recent and historical discourse, this book is about
how speakers of a marginalised, contained language engage with the
political system in the idioms at their disposal. The Politics of
Palestinian Multilingualism: Speaking for Citizenship is key
reading for advanced students and scholars of multilingualism,
language contact, ideology, and policy, within sociolinguistics,
anthropology, politics, and Middle Eastern studies.
