Eduardo D. Faingold's book examines language rights and legal frameworks in Scandinavian countries, focusing on Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland. It explores how these nations, known for their supportive stance on minority rights, implement language policies that affect the use of minority, indigenous, and immigrant languages. The book highlights potential discrepancies between legal guarantees and practice, providing insights valuable for language policy studies, ethnic studies, and Scandinavian studies. Faingold, an expert in language rights, integrates personal experiences and scholarly research to analyze the impact of linguistic laws on diverse language communities. This work is aimed at policymakers, scholars, and anyone interested in language diversity and rights.

Le présent volume se doit de prendre en compte toutes les phases des politiques linguistiques : leur élaboration (penser), leur mise en œuvre (réaliser), leur évaluation (mesurer), pour éventuellement les questionner, re-penser, corriger, et ouvrir un nouveau cycle. L’ensemble des contributions que nous proposons ici représente le troisième volet d’une réflexion amorcée en 2015, à l’occasion du premier Congrès mondial des droits linguistiques (CMDL-2015), et ayant débouché sur deux riches volumes d’Actes – publiés dans cette même collection LEM. Les objectifs du CMDL-2015 étaient, d’une part, de montrer la complexité de la sphère jurilinguistique et, de l’autre, de proposer des approches pluridisciplinaires tout en segmentant ce processus délicat qui va des représentations sociales des langues aux actions « politiques » – de par en haut, de par en bas, à mi-palier – sur celles-ci. Or, le problème de l’évaluation des politiques linguistiques représente non seulement le dernier, mais également le maillon le moins étudié ou fréquenté en littérature. Il y a lieu de se demander pourquoi. Pour tenter de répondre, nous proposons ici des repères théoriques, des analyses de terrain et des débats.

In this ground-breaking collection of essays, the editors and authors develop the idea of Linguistic Citizenship. This notion highlights the importance of practices whereby vulnerable speakers themselves exercise control over their languages, and draws attention to the ways in which alternative voices can be inserted into processes and structures that otherwise alienate those they were designed to support. The chapters discuss issues of decoloniality and multilingualism in the global South, and together retheorize how to accommodate diversity in complexly multilingual/ multicultural societies. Offering a framework anchored in transformative notions of democratic and reflexive citizenship, it prompts readers to critically rethink how existing contemporary frameworks such as Linguistic Human Rights rest on disempowering forms of multilingualism that channel discourses of diversity into specific predetermined cultural and linguistic identities.
