"...read the book! You will be inspired." LANGUAGE AND EDUCATION, MULTILINGUAL MATTERS (Vol. 17, No. 3) "This book focuses on most of the issues which are of serious academic interest in the practice of language revitalisation. It differs from some other books in this area, which focus more on the causes of language endangerment and marginalization. Modern mono-culture's threats to diversity (whether human or biological) form a topic of some interest in the media at the moment. Therefore, this book will appeal not only to language educators and linguists, but also to environmentalists, anthropologists and sociologists." Nicholas Ostler, President, Foundation for Endangered Languages, Bath UK "This is a useful, and at times refreshing, collection. Among the high points are Hales's astute commentaries on immersion programs and the use of mass media to preserve (rather than overwhelm) local languages; Clay Slate's exploration of the tensions between indigenous and non-indigenous audiences in creating an intellectual forum for Navajo linguistic scholarship at the highest level; and the back-to-back chapters by Sam Warner and Bill Wilson on Hawaiian revitalization, an object-lesson in how feuding over "control" can subvert even the most successful of language programs. The concluding section on 'sleeping language' (languages with no surviving first-language speakers) is a timely exploration of the links between archival research-clearly the future of our field-and revitalization." The Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas Newsletter "...On the whole, this is a wonderful book, a welcome addition to the growing literature on endangered languages, and a repository of excellent language-renewal ideas. Attractively printed in large format, with an appropriately bright green cover, the volume deserves a place on the shelf of anyone interested in language revitalization or minority language teaching, whether linguist, language teacher, or community activist."
