"In Revivals, Nationalism, and Linguistic Discrimination Fleming and Ansaldo offer a lucid and accessible exposition of language politics across a number of contrasting jurisdictions. In so doing they provide an overview of where we are now in global developments in language policies and the practical and ideological tensions that inform them. For once, language politics is treated within academic linguistics as real politics, rather than being viewed through the lens of a predetermined ideological position – typically European vernacular Romanticism. In this way the authors bring new insights and dynamic analysis to bear on an important, fascinating, yet deeply contested domain." — Christopher Hutton, Professor, School of English, University of Hong Kong
