This linguistic imperialism is meticulously connected to issues of education equity and quality, children's rights, international aid, and development. The book is a must-read for comparative and international educators." - Steven J. Klees, Harold R. W. Benjamin Professor of International & Comparative education, University of Maryland, USA "This book contributes to enlighten a crucial academic as well as a democratic and philosophical issue: The right to use your local language. It offers a high-level research and the work is both cutting edge and offers new knowledge to the fields of democracy, human rights and education." - Inga Bostad, Professor of Philosophy & Director of the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights, University of Oslo, Norway "This book illuminates the use of local languages of instruction and local curriculum for quality learning which is not only a human right worldwide, but it is also a 'fundamental' human right. Recommended to education scholars, policy makers and practitioners." - Jerome I. Okonkwo, Professor of Philosophy & Vice Chancellor Administrator, Imo State University, Nigeria.
