Language Rights and the Law in the United States : Finding our Voices

A comprehensive review of the legal status of minority languages in the USA.

It also provides the historical and political context for the legal manoeuvring that culminated in landmark civil rights victories.

All of the major cases in the USA concerning language rights are discussed in detail and in a manner that should be easily accessible to the non-legal audience.

The topics range from the English-only movement to consumer law, and from employment discrimination to international law.
