Indigenous Language Revitalization in the Americas

Focusing on the Americas–home to 40 to 50 million Indigenous people–this book explores the history and current state of Indigenous language revitalization across this vast region. Complementary chapters on the USA and Canada, and Latin America and the Caribbean, offering a panoramic view while tracing nuanced trajectories of "top down" (official) and "bottom up" (grass roots) language planning and policy initiatives.
