Beschreibung

This book builds a space in which a diversity of voices - Indigenous teachers, activists and committed academics - are foregrounded in the processes of Indigenous education with the goal of Indigenous language reclamation. It decenters state systems of education (e.g. schooling) and instead considers the efforts of teachers (defined broadly), community activists and scholars who are developing initiatives to support Indigenous language practices in, around and beyond schooling, thereby emphasizing diverse processes of language reclamation in complex and varied settings. The authors invite the reader to reconsider language reclamation in the face of climate change and neocolonial exploitation, offering a source of radical hope for the future. Central to the book are narratives regarding community-based collaborations, which subvert the asymmetrical power relations between academia and educational practitioners and activists, and call into question the categories constructed by a top-down approach, as well as the colonial relationships that linguistic anthropology and linguistics have constructed within the spaces and people they 'study'.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

The Americas are expansive, beautiful, and resilient human and more than human communities. Life is always languaged here, and the authors in this volume bring forward this recognition through lived experience. They share lessons and ideas embedded in powerful stories and narratives. Carefully stewarded by dedicated editors, this collection is a delight to read and an inspiration to remember. * Elizabeth Sumida Huaman, University of Minnesota, USA * Immersing oneself in this powerful collection of transcultural narratives of resilience and persistence in the daily context of 'uneasy co-habitation of severely threatened "local" languages alongside dominant "global" ones' is to become embraced in an empowering experience of solidarity with the storyteller-authors. Solidarity in tenacity of spirit - qatsi'nangwa, in the Hopi sense, as 'the will to survive' through our gifts of languages. * Sheilah E. Nicholas, University of Arizona, USA *
