This edited volume will explore linguistic apartheid, or the disappearance of certain languages through cultural genocide by dominant European colonizers and American neoconservative groups. It will trace back this form of apartheid from the colonial era to the English-only movement in the United States. Contributors demonstrate the way and extent to which such actions have affected the cultural life, learning process, identity, and the subjective and material conditions of linguistically and historically marginalized groups, including students. Further, they propose alternative ways to counter linguistic apartheid that minority groups and students have faced in schools and society at large.
