Language Racism

This book discusses a new breed of racism, namely language racism, which is spreading both in the USA and in Europe, as well as other parts of the world. The book is a manifesto promoting a more positive view of linguistic and cultural diversity.

This is a concise, well-organized book elaborating language, identity, and education in the context of migration and globalization. As a researcher in critical discourse analysis and language education, I would highly recommend this book to those who are interested in language racism, multilingual education, language policies, and ideologies in educational language.
