Beskrivning
Invites readers to question whether language planning and policy can survive decolonialization.This book represents a vital step forward in the process of decolonizing language policy and planning (LPP). It addresses both theoretical and practical aspects of LPP, while exploring its intersection with domains including security, politics and education. A decolonized LPP invites us to view language as an interconnected phenomenon, with boundaries that are not defined by structural, territorial, ethnic or historical limitations.The chapters in this book problematize the positivist, instrumental, pragmatic and technical dimensions of LPP, while offering a renewed perspective in dialogue with contemporary struggles and claims. It covers a range of geopolitical contexts, with particular attention to the dialogues and contradictions between the North and the South.

Recensioner i media

This volume is a veritable tour de force. It brings out the complexities and pitfalls of Language Policy and Planning, starting with the pervasive slipperiness of key concepts found lacking in operational definition. The contributors highlight the significance of bringing into the equation the often-sidelined voices from the Global South.
