Linguistic Human Rights (LHR) is a fast growing new area of study combining the principles of national and international law with the study of language as a central dimension of ethnicity. Implementation of these principles is aimed at ensuring that no state or society violates these basic rights. This path breaking study broadens our knowledge of the important role of language in minority rights and in social and political struggles for LHRs. Exploring the interactions of linguistic diversity, biodiversity, the free market and human rights, the contributors present case studies to highlight such issues as Kurdish satellite TV attempting to create a virtual state on the air through trying to achieve basic LHR’s for Kurds in Turkey; the implementation of LHRs in the Baltic states; language rights activism in Canada; the spread of English as an international language; and the obstacles met in education by Roma and the Deaf in Hungary because of lack of appropriate LHRs. Language: A Right and a Resource is a valuable multi-disciplinary text which can be used in a variety of different areas of study in the legal profession, linguistics, cultural and political studies.

Ethnic Minorities in Socialist China: Development, Migration, Culture, and Identity, edited by Dr. Han Xiaorong and translated into English by Zeng Qiang, presents nine articles written by Chinese scholars about the transformation of China's ethnic minority groups in the socialist era. Focusing on seven of the 55 ethnic minorities in China, the nine articles cover four major themes: development, migration, culture and identity. These case studies are based on both fieldwork and written sources, and most authors make connections between their case studies and relevant social scientific theories. Peoples and places studied include the autonomous regions of Tibet and Inner Mongolia; the Hanni, Dai, and Bai peoples of Yunnan Province; Miao farmers of Yangjiang in Guangdong; and the Yi people of the Pearl River Delta region. These studies, which originally appeared in Open Times (开放时代), broadly reflect the concerns, interests and perspectives of the Chinese scholars involved in the study of China's ethnic minorities.

L’usage du terme « race » en sciences sociales se démarque très fortement de son acception dans l’idéologie raciste et est mobilisé pour penser les rapports sociaux : la race est définie comme une construction sociale et non une donnée naturelle et immuable, mais une production sociale historiquement située, et mouvante . L’ouvrage met en évidence le fait que des groupes sociaux sont racisés, c’est-à-dire placés en position subordonnée ou privilégiée dans de nombreux domaines sociaux, juridiques, politiques, économiques.Il mobilise le concept d’intersectionnalité forgé à la fin des années 1980 qui désigne l’interaction entre les identités raciales et celles que dessinent la classe, la religion, le genre, l’âge, la manière dont elles se cumulent ou parfois se compensent.Dans un premier temps l’ouvrage revient sur l’histoire du concept, de ses premiers usages, et de l’utilisation de la race en tanyt que construction sociale et non de réalité biologique. Puis est abordé le concept de race par ses controverses. Pour finir, l’ouvrage analyse ce que la race comme objet d’analyse fait à la sociologie comme analyse des faits et rapports sociaux.
