| Description: |
This multidisciplinary text shows how most indigenous and minority education contributes to linguistic genocide according to UN definitions. The author argues that it is normal and desirable for people, groups, countries and schools to be multilingual and multicultural. |
| Synopsis: |
In this powerful, multidisciplinary book, Tove Skutnabb-Kangas shows how most indigenous and minority education contributes to linguistic genocide according to United Nations definitions. Theory is combined with a wealth of factual encyclopedic information and with many examples and vignettes. The examples come from all parts of the world and try to avoid Eurocentrism. Oriented toward theory and practice, facts and evaluations, and reflection and action, the book prompts readers to find information about the world and their local contexts, to reflect and to act.
