Opis

Using the Vepsian Renaissance as an example, this volume brings to the surface a literacy-orality dualism new to the discussion around language revival movements. This book addresses the activists, scholars and policymakers involved and opens a discussion about power and agency in the multiple relational aspects of written and oral practices.
