This book is a multidisciplinary analysis of the meaning and dynamics of multilingualism from the perspectives of multilingual societies and language communities in the margins, who are trapped in a vicious circle of disadvantage. It analyses the social, psychological and sociolinguistic processes of linguistic dominance and hierarchical relationships among languages, discrimination, marginalisation and assertive maintenance in multilingualism characterised by a Double Divide, and shows the relationship between educational neglect of languages, capability deprivation and poverty, and loss of linguistic diversity. Its comparative analysis of language-in-education policies and practices and applications of multilingual education (MLE) in diverse contexts shows some promises and challenges in the education of indigenous/tribal/minority children. This book will be of interest to students, researchers, educators and practitioners in sociolinguistics, educational linguistics, psycholinguistics, multilingualism and bilingual/multilingual education.

The principles for enabling children to become fully proficient multilinguals through schooling are well known. Even so, most indigenous/tribal, minority and marginalised children are not provided with appropriate mother-tongue-based multilingual education (MLE) that would enable them to succeed in school and society. In this book experts from around the world ask why this is, and show how it can be done. The book discusses general principles and challenges in depth and presents case studies from Canada and the USA, northern Europe, Peru, Africa, India, Nepal and elsewhere in Asia. Analysis by leading scholars in the field shows the importance of building on local experience. Sharing local solutions globally can lead to better theory, and to action for more social justice and equality through education.

Perspectives on Indigenous Psychology is an effort to bring into focus the context, contents and relevance of the move towards indigenous psychology in India. This volume offers a critical appreciation of the changing context of science and places, the discipline of psychology in the emerging interpretive framework of human sciences. The contributions make an effort to explore the potentials of indigenous notions in the areas like self understanding, health and well-being, happiness, stress, personality, emotions and skill development. The relevance of culture and ideology to the development of the discipline is also critically examined and assessment of indigenization of psychology in India is made. Modern psychology is a discipline predominantly rooted in the western cultural practices and ideologies. However, under politico-economic compulsions this peculiarly. Euro-American scholarship has been projected as universal, secular, and scientific. This image has been transported to the developing countries of the world; many of them have a colonial history. In recent past not only variations and similarities in human behaviour across cultures have been identified but also the role of culture in constituting psychological phenomena has been explicated. In this context exploration into indigenous psychologies has become an important concern. The present volume extends the debate and contributes to the development of post western psychology. This volume provides important source material, fresh ideas and concepts that will go a long way in shaping the discipline of psychology in the post positivist era. The volume is of interest to the students of psychology, sociology, anthropology, education, health sciences, and related fields.
