Abstract:

This book builds a space in which a diversity of voices – Indigenous
teachers, activists and committed academics – are foregrounded in the
processes of Indigenous education with the goal of Indigenous language
reclamation. It decenters state systems of education (e.g. schooling)
and instead considers the efforts of teachers (defined broadly),
community activists and scholars who are developing initiatives to
support Indigenous language practices in, around and beyond schooling,
thereby emphasizing diverse processes of language reclamation in
complex and varied settings. The authors invite the reader to
reconsider language reclamation in the face of climate change and
neocolonial exploitation, offering a source of radical hope for the
future. Central to the book are narratives regarding community-based
collaborations, which subvert the asymmetrical power relations between
academia and educational practitioners and activists, and call into
question the categories constructed by a top-down approach, as well as
the colonial relationships that linguistic anthropology and
linguistics have constructed within the spaces and people they
‘study’.

Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics
