Beskrivning
Richard Ruiz has inspired generations of scholars in language planning and multilingual education with his unique orientations to language as a problem, a right and a resource. This volume attests to the far-reaching impact of his thinking and teaching, bringing together a selection of his published and unpublished writings on language planning orientations, bilingual and language minority education, language threat and endangerment, voice and empowerment, and even language fun, accompanied by contributions from colleagues and former students reflecting and expanding on Ruiz’ ground-breaking work. This book will be of great interest to both undergraduate and postgraduate students in language planning and multilingual education, Indigenous and minority education, as well as to junior and senior researchers in those fields.

Recensioner i media

Richard Ruiz’s influence on the fields of language policy and language education has been immense. His scholarship was always especially elegant and insightful. It was also, crucially, always grounded in social justice and a related commitment to effecting positive change for bilingual and minoritized students. His untimely death has robbed us of not only a great academic but also a remarkable person. But this is all the more reason why this collection is so important, because in reading it we can still clearly hear his voice, see his vision, and understand the significance, reach and influence of his work.
