Summary:
"Language racism is a covert form of racism that informs widespread societal discourses that are ostensibly about language but are often tied up in more complicated anxieties about race, for example the English Only movement in the United States and the politics of integration in Europe. ... Ultimately, the book is a manifesto promoting a more positive view of linguistic and cultural diversity."--Page 4 of cover.
