sources on language revitalization

[Benjamin Bailey]

Several people on the list sent me suggestions on sources re: language
revitalization efforts. thanks.

>From Gary Palmer:
The student should look at Leanne Hinton's book Flutes of Fire, which contains
descriptions of several programs in California.

>From Jim Wilce:

NAU has published a series of three collections of papers (not
peer-reviewed, is my impression) on lg. revit. programs.  They are listed,
along with quite a few others sent me by a friend, under Courses, ANT 103,
on my web page.

Best of luck!

Yours,

Jim

>From Alexandra Jaffe:

On your other message, let me recommend the work of Enrique Hamel in Mexico.
Your student might also want to look at the Mercator website, as well as the
Heritage Languages Listserv and the EBLUL website (European Bureau for
Lesser Used Languages). If they want to read about Corsica (here's the
shameless self-promotion) I have a book that came out last year with Mouton
de Gruyter called Ideologies in Action: Language Politics on Corsica
