A Post-Liberal Approach to Language Policy in Education

This provocative book examines the strengths and weaknesses of liberal political theory to inform language policy in a way that promotes individual autonomy while not reifying 'language'. Important topics of discussion include the language/identity link, language rights, language varieties, and academic language.
