Full Description
This book brings together a powerful collection of voices from around the world to explore how linguistic hierarchies, policies, and social attitudes marginalise the speakers of minoritised languages. Through case studies from diverse regions—including Indigenous communities, migrant populations, and postcolonial contexts—this volume examines the structural and symbolic violence that shapes language discrimination. Contributors draw from sociolinguistic, educational, legal, and human rights approaches to analyse resistance strategies and revitalisation movements, offering multiple yet interrelated perspectives on language justice. Accessible and cross-disciplinary, the present volume constitutes essential reading for scholars, practitioners, and advocates working in the fields of sociolinguistics, language policy and revitalisation, equity in education, and minority-language rights.
