Capturing the dynamism of Canadian language policies, the essays in this volume analyze and compare the effects, histories, and features of language policies as they have been enacted and implemented by Canadian provincial and federal governments. The contributors' comparisons reveal significant domestic and international implications for language policy. An important study of a social and political issue that has immediate local, national, and international consequences, Canadian Language Policies in Comparative Perspective assembles knowledgeable authorities on language policy to provide a comprehensive synthesis of its consequences.

"... valuable for collections strong in multicultural theory, public policy, politics of divided societies, the interaction of language and politics, and comparative policy and politics more generally. Summing Up: Highly recommended." CHOICE " ... builds on and extends the literature on Canadian language policies from a comparative perspective. To date, few publications have dealt with more than one of the five perspectives addressed here. This book therefore fills a void in the literature, and it constitutes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the complex nature of Canadian language policies." British Journal of Canadian Studies
