Description
Global Language Justice brings together leading experts to investigate what justice looks like in a time of climate crisis. The worldwide loss of linguistic diversity is examined, and a new conception of justice is developed to safeguard marginalized languages. The book explores the socioeconomic transformations that both accelerate language decline and give rise to new possibilities through population movement, technological change, and Indigenous innovation. Contributors critically examine concepts such as human rights, inclusiveness, and equality in defending linguistic diversity. Multilingual works by world-renowned poets and artists are interspersed with essays, deepening the book's themes and offering concrete solutions to achieve a sustainable global economic system.
