Abstract:

In this ground-breaking collection of essays, the editors and authors develop
the idea of Linguistic Citizenship. This notion highlights the importance of
practices whereby vulnerable speakers themselves exercise control over their
languages, and draws attention to the ways in which alternative voices can be
inserted into processes and structures that otherwise alienate those they were
designed to support. The chapters discuss issues of decoloniality and
multilingualism in the global South, and together retheorize how to
accommodate diversity in complexly multilingual/ multicultural societies.
Offering a framework anchored in transformative notions of democratic and
reflexive citizenship, it prompts readers to critically rethink how existing
contemporary frameworks such as Linguistic Human Rights rest on disempowering
forms of multilingualism that channel discourses of diversity into specific
predetermined cultural and linguistic identities.
