>Reviews
>"This is a useful, and ... refreshing, collection. Among the high points are
>Hales's astute commentaries on immersion programs and the use of mass media
>to preserve (rather than overwhelm) local languages; Clay Slate's
>exploration of the tensions between indigenous and non-indigenous audiences
>in creating an intellectual forum for Navajo linguistic scholarship at the
>highest level; and the back-to-back chapters by Sam Warner and Bill Wilson
>on Hawaiian revitalization, an object-lesson in how feuding over "control"
>can subvert even the most successful of language programs. The concluding
>section on 'sleeping language' (languages with no surviving first-language
>speakers) is a timely exploration of the links between archival
>research-clearly the future of our field-and revitalization."

>With world-wide environmental destruction and globalization of economy, a
>few languages are spreading rapidly in use (especially English), while
>thousands of other languages are disappearing, taking with them important
>cultural, philosophical and environmental knowledge systems and oral
>literatures. We all stand to suffer from such a loss, none more so than the
>communities whose very identity is being threatened by the impending death
>of their languages. In response to this crisis, indigenous communities
>around the world have begun to develop a myriad of projects to keep their
>languages alive. This volume is a set of detailed accounts about the kind of
>work that is going on now as people struggle for their linguistic survival.
>It also serves as a manual of effective practices in language
>revitalization.
>
>KEY FEATURES
>Includes 23 case studies of language revitalization in practice, from Native
>American languages, Australian languages, Maori, Hawaiian, Welsh, Irish, and
>others, written primarily by authors directly involved in the programs
>
>Short introductions situate the languages, to help make the languages more
>"real" in the minds of readers
>
>Each chapter gives a detailed overview of the various kinds of programs and
>methods in practice today
>
>Introductions and maps for each of the languages represented familiarize the
>reader with their history, linguistic structure and sociolinguistic features
>
>Strong representation in authorship and viewpoint of the people and
>communities whose languages are threatened, gives the readers an inside
>understanding of the issues involved and the community-internal attitudes
>toward language loss and revitalization
