Abstract:

Language policy is a topic of growing importance around the world, as issues
such as the recognition of linguistic diversity, the establishment of official
languages, the status of languages in educational systems, the status of
heritage and minority languages, and speakers' legal rights have come
increasingly to the forefront. One fifth of the American population do not
speak English as their first language. While race, gender and religious
discrimination are recognized as illegal, the US does not currently accord the
same protections regarding language; discrimination on the basis of language
is accepted, and even promoted, in the name of unity and efficiency. Setting
language within the context of America's history, this book explores the
diverse range of linguistic inequalities, covering voting, criminal and civil
justice, education, government and public services, and the workplace, and
considers how linguistic differences challenge our fundamental ideals of
democracy, justice and fairness.
