[Linganth] Much Belated Reading List Compilation_Migration, Language, and Politics

[Woolard, Kathryn]

Hilary, thanks very much for compiling and sharing this very useful bibliography. I see that it includes an early article of mine on the politics of the California/U.S. English-only movement. Anyone interested in that will probably find it much easier to get hold of the version that appeared in the American Ethnologist:

Woolard, Kathryn A.1989  "Sentences in the Language Prison: The Rhetorical Structuring of an American Language Policy Debate." American Ethnologist 16 (1):268-78.

Best wishes,
Kit

Subject: [Linganth] Much Belated Reading List Compilation_Migration, Language, and Politics

Dear Colleagues--

I am writing to send along a much-too-belated compilation of the source suggestions I received to my query of January (see below). The compilation is attached; it includes both suggestions from the list as well as related readings that were assigned in the class.

I apologize for the long delay and I thank everyone who wrote with suggestions. Hopefully some of you might find this list useful as the fall semester begins.

Yours,
Hilary

Dear Colleagues--

Happy new year, all.

I'm writing with a query about teaching materials for my Migration Politics in the Americas class, which addresses migration from Latin America into the US via the linguistic anthropological and sociolinguistic scholarship on this topic.

I'm interested in finding a short piece (maybe an Anthropology News, handbook, or encyclopedia entry??) for the first week of the class that will introduce to my students, who are primarily International Studies and Political Science majors, to the way we conceptualize the relationship between language and politics in sociocultural studies of language. Ideally, the piece will help them understand that "politics" isn't only about the workings of government and international bodies. In this class we move very quickly into some dense linguistic anthropological concepts, so I need to establish this basic point right away.

I'll compile responses to share, of course.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Sincerely,
Hilary
