This book brings together a powerful collection of voices from around the world to explore how linguistic hierarchies, policies, and social attitudes marginalise the speakers of minoritised languages. Through case studies from diverse regions—including Indigenous communities, migrant populations, and postcolonial contexts—this volume examines the structural and symbolic violence that shapes language discrimination. Contributors draw from sociolinguistic, educational, legal, and human rights approaches to analyse resistance strategies and revitalisation movements, offering multiple yet interrelated perspectives on language justice. Accessible and cross-disciplinary, the present volume constitutes essential reading for scholars, practitioners, and advocates working in the fields of sociolinguistics, language policy and revitalisation, equity in education, and minority-language rights.

Marc Gandarillas, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Spanish and Sociolinguistics at the University of North Dakota, USA. He holds a BA in Classics, a BA in Linguistics, and a MA in Ancient Cultures and Languages—all from the Universitat de Barcelona, Spain—as well as a PhD in Romance Languages and Hispanic Linguistics from the University of Florida, USA. Among other topics, Dr Gandarillas’s current research focuses on Catalan-speaking heritage communities in the Americas, particularly in Argentina. His interests include minoritised languages, bilingualism, anthropological linguistics, revitalisation, translation, and language policy. He recently published Majorcan Catalan in San Pedro, Argentina: The Case for an Endangered Heritage Language Variety (2024).
