Abstract:

Tensions and conflicts related to linguistic identity and security are
inevitable - even necessary - in liberal democracies. However, if conflicts
related to language and identity negatively impact democratic participation,
and lead to social fragmentation, civic withdrawal, and lack of trust in
societal institutions, then the political system itself may become suspect and
unstable. Written by experts from the fields of sociolinguistics, bilingual
studies, political science/philosophy, and education, this volume provides a
comprehensive picture of the current political, cultural and social factors
impacting language policy in the United States and Canada. The chapters cover
many aspects of social life in North America, such as immigration, bilingual
education, heritage languages, and linguistic identity, and explore the
challenges and set-backs, along with the many positive steps taken in recent
years to advance the values of inclusion amidst diversity in a variety of
contexts and domains in the United States and Canada.
