BOOK REVIEW: TRANSMITTING MINORITY LANGUAGES

This book review discusses a publication from France that evaluates the challenges confronting minority languages and their mediation. The contributors primarily examine the Romance language area and its neighboring language varieties. These include especially the languages and dialects in France and Belgium. An additional focus is on educational challenges in Haiti and South Africa. The anthology shows that comparative studies of minority languages can enhance our understanding of linguistic, social, and geopolitical developments in individual countries.
