Focusing on the Americas - home to 40 to 50 million Indigenous
people - this book explores the history and current state of
Indigenous language revitalization across this vast region.
Complementary chapters on the USA and Canada, and Latin America and
the Caribbean, offer a panoramic view while tracing nuanced
trajectories of "top down" (official) and "bottom up" (grass roots)
language planning and policy initiatives. Authored by leading
Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, the book is organized
around seven overarching themes: Policy and Politics; Processes of
Language Shift and Revitalization; The Home-School-Community
Interface; Local and Global Perspectives; Linguistic Human Rights;
Revitalization Programs and Impacts; New Domains for Indigenous
Languages Providing a comprehensive, hemisphere-wide scholarly and
practical source, this singular collection simultaneously fills a
gap in the language revitalization literature and contributes to
Indigenous language revitalization efforts.
