Book: Language & Culture (language & ethnic identity)

[Scott McGinnis]

HANDBOOK OF LANGUAGE & ETHNIC IDENTITY
Edited by Joshua A. Fishman, Yeshiva University
(Emeritus)

This volume presents a comprehensive introduction to the connection
between language and ethnicity.  Since the "ethnic revival" of the
last twenty years, there has been a substantial and interdisciplinary
change in our understanding of the connection between these
fundamental aspects of our identity.  Joshua Fishman has commissioned
over 25 previously unpublished papers on every facet of the
subject. This volume is interdisciplinary and the contributors are all
distinguished figures in their fields.  After each chapter Fishman
pulls together the various views that have been expressed and shows
how they differ and how they are alike. The volume is useful as a
scholarly reference, a resource for the lay reader, and can also be
used as a text in ethnicity courses.
