Recensioner i media

"In this rich and ambitious book ... Aviv Amit sets out to compare the wartime sociolinguistic trajectories of four of France's minority-language communities, namely Breton, Occitan, Corsican and Alsatian. ... this book certainly makes recommended reading for anyone interested in French language policy or French national minorities." (Geoffrey Roger, Language Policy, Vol. 15, 2016)
