Recenzje

The Struggle for a Multilingual Future offers a timely, incisive analysis of how ethnicity is (re)inscribed and lived through language in (post-)civil war Sri Lanka. This important book is remarkable for its ethnographic detail and for its keen sense of how language policies, and the ideologies that animate them, impact the imaginations and everyday lives of Tamil and Muslim students. Davis masterfully offers a vivid portrait of life in this fraught multiethnic and multilingual context.
