Publication July 2009:
Social Justice Through Multilingual Education
Edited by: Tove Skutnabb-Kangas, Robert Phillipson, Ajit K. Mohanty
ISBN: 1-84769-189-7 * ISBN: 978-1-84769-189-7
Summary:
The principles for enabling children to become fully proficient bilinguals through schooling are well known. Even so, most children from minorities – indigenous, tribal, the marginalised – are not provided with appropriate mother-tongue based education. Experts from many parts of the world show how it can be done successfully. The book presents general principles in depth and case studies of successfully meeting the challenges of minority education in Canada and the USA, northern Europe, Peru, Africa, India, Nepal and elsewhere in Asia. Analysis by leading scholars in the field shows the importance of building on local experience. Sharing local solutions globally can lead to better theory, and more social justice and equality through education.
