This volume illustrates how language revival movements in Russia
and elsewhere have often followed a specific pattern of literacy
bias in the promotion of a minority's heritage language, partly
neglecting the social and relational aspects of orality. Using the
Vepsian Renaissance as an example, this volume brings to the
surface a literacy-orality dualism new to the discussion around
revival movements. In addition to the more-theoretically oriented
scopes, this book addresses all the actors involved in revival
movements including activists, scholars and policy-makers, and
opens a discussion on literacy and orality, and power and agency in
the multiple relational aspects of written and oral practices. This
study addresses issues common to language revival movements
worldwide and will appeal to researchers of linguistic
anthropology, sociolinguistics, education and language policy, and
culture studies.
