Reviews

'A timely and important volume that goes well beyond traditional language policy analysis, in order to engage with alternatives to current policies and practices. The attention to multiple language communities in Canada and the US reveals the dramatic ways that meso and macro policy making can be affected by local and community action.' James Tollefson, University of Washington 'A must for language mavens and policymakers alike, Language Politics and Policies provides concise, balanced and well-informed studies of the current state and future prospects of English, Spanish, French, Indigenous languages and immigrant languages in Canada and the United States. The insights offered by its comparative perspective are enlightening and sometimes surprising.' Stephen Henighan, University of Guelph, Canada
