Reviews
An important contribution to the new studies that help understand why the family is such an important site for the study of language policy. This interesting collection of cases makes clear the complex external influences and internal beliefs (some probably mistaken) that influence language choice in the family and neighborhood. Bernard Spolsky, Professor Emeritus, Bar-Ilan University, Israel Family language transmission is closely intertwined with social and political macro developments. By shaping language transmission, families themselves act as political players, (un)consciously opposing or following power relations. This volume on family language choice thus provides invaluable perspectives on potential balance and power shifts within the near future and in different contexts around the world. Katharina Brizic, Professor, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, Germany
