Abstract:

Language, Race and Ethnicity: A Reader an essential resource for all
students of sociolinguistics, ethnic studies, linguistics, anthropology
and intercultural studies.This accessible reader collects in one volume
the key readings on language, ethnicity and race.

Harris and Rampton introduce students to the current debates surrounding
issues of language and diversity, colonialism and migration, identity and
appropriation. Invaluable editorial material guides the student through
different sections of the book, which look at how language is used in
different ethnic groups and how such uses are discussed and reported.
Using linguistic and cultural analysis, the Reader explores changing ideas
of ethnicity and race around the world, and the ways in which these ideas
shape human communication.
