Reviews
'There is no doubt that this collection will be useful to lawyers and other supporters of rights, as well as to students of language policy and management study of the slow progress of legal recognition in the USA of non-English language rights. It covers in considerable detail most of the important cases and decisions as the system has gradually (and perhaps reluctantly) recognized the way that failure to allow for minority language patterns has contributed to the kinds of inequality more usually associated with race, gender, and the income gap.' Bernard Spolsky, Professor Emeritus, Bar-Ilan University, Israel
