Beschreibung

In The Struggle for a Multilingual Future, Christina Davis examines the tension between ethnic conflict and multilingual education policy in the linguistic and social practices of Sri Lankan minority youth during and after the civil war. Davis investigates the efficacy of national reforms in relation to how ideologies of linguistic, ethnic, religious, and class difference are reinforced and challenged in everyday interactions.
