About this book

This book explores the close association between use of a language and the sense of affiliation with the culture associated with it: an allegiance that seems to garner a type of loyalty and support that few other identities command.

Reviews

Nydia Flores-Ferran, Department of Spanish and Portugese, Rutgers State University:

The chapters in the book are engaging, critical and current, in that they present the political and social discourses at the micro and macro level - something to imbue our thinking.

José del Valle, The Graduate Center - CUNY, USA:

This book offers a well-made selection of illuminating perspectives on the relation between language and identity in the United States. The contributors - an all-star cast - study the conditions under which beliefs and attitudes towards language are produced and survey the roles they play and effects they have within the fields of culture, education, and politics. With this volume, the sociology of language takes a step forward in its long-standing effort to produce a coherent articulation of language and politics as an object of research.
