"The quality of writing and mastery of the material presented combine to make this book a collaborative and sustained contribution to the topic of linguistic diversity and language policy." Thomas Ricento, University of Calgary "Minority Languages, National Languages, and Official Language Policies is a rich source of new and established material, offering fresh alternatives to the common narrative of how languages gain official status, focusing on the implications and consequences both for those who benefit and those who feel disadvantaged by official language policies." Colin H. Williams, Cardiff and Cambridge Universities "This important volume presents 10 valuable case studies concerning official and de facto language policies throughout Canada, Europe, Africa and Asia, along with a useful introduction and well-considered commentary by François Grin." British Journal of Canadian Studies
