Indigenous Language Revitalization in the Americas

Focusing on the Americas-home to 40 to 50 million Indigenous people-this book explores the history and current state of Indigenous language revitalization across this vast region. Complementary chapters on the USA and Canada, and Latin America and the Caribbean, offering a panoramic view while tracing nuanced trajectories of "top down" (official) and "bottom up" (grass roots) language planning and policy initiatives.
