Presents an ethnographic study of language use and language planning on the French island of Corsica where there has been a language shift away from the minority language (Corsican) towards French. Focuses both on language domination and sites of resistance in the dominant language ideologies, looking at the ideological underpinnings of strategies of language planners and exploring how these ideologies of language are historically rooted in European and French political economies. Emphasizes that divergent approaches taken by Corsican cultural activists are all equally coherent responses. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
