Such work often has limitations because scholars from different disciplinary traditions have seldom coordinated their concerns or integrated the conceptual traditions of particular fields. To enable researchers and advanced students to make sense of this vast literature, and the disparate scholarly approaches, Routledge announces \u003ci\u003eLanguage Rights\u003c\/i\u003e, a new title in its Critical Concepts in Language Studies series. In four volumes, the set draws on a wide range of disciplines, including language policy, political theory, education, law, philosophy, anthropology, economics, minority studies, deaf studies, and Indigenous cosmologies. The editors have assembled both normative texts and studies of their practical applications over the past century in a wide range of countries, as well as more diverse interventions and interpretations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolume I ('Language Rights, Past and Present: From Minority Rights to Linguistic Human Rights') presents some of the basic concepts in language rights and traces developments from treaties and national constitutions to human rights principles, and conditions for the maintenance of languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolume II ('Multilingualism, Education, and Language Rights Granted or Denied: Policies and Politics') explores the tensions between homogenizing nation states and the status of indigenous and minority languages in education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolume III in the collection ('Language Rights and Endangered Languages') brings together the best thinking on recent developments in language and cultural revitalization through community mobilization around language rights, especially in education, the preconditions for their success, their relationship to land rights and self-determination, and state responses to demands for language rights. Finally, \u003cb\u003eVolume IV\u003c\/b\u003e ('Language Rights: Global and Regional Integration and Diversity Maintenance') assesses ongoing trends of regional and global integration and questions the prospects for the world's languages in the light of economic and cultural constraints, and the weaknesses of the international human rights system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith newly written, comprehensive introductions to each volume, and to the collection as a whole, \u003ci\u003eLanguage Rights\u003c\/i\u003e is destined to be welcomed as a vital research and pedagogic resource.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46929885790359,"sku":"9780415740821","price":104732.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415740821.webp?v=1771603039","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/language-rights-9780415740821","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
