Sinopsis

Language Revival Movements explores the complex efforts to revitalize endangered languages, examining the social, cultural, and linguistic factors involved. It highlights how colonization and globalization have contributed to language loss, impacting communities and their cultural heritage. The book emphasizes that language revival isn't just about linguistic preservation; it's also about empowering indigenous communities and reclaiming cultural heritage.

 
Did you know that language revival movements often serve as a crucial means of promoting social justice? Or that integrating indigenous languages into mainstream education is a key strategy? The book examines diverse methodologies in language revival, from immersion programs to digital resources, and analyzes the socio-political dynamics at play. It presents case studies from around the world, showcasing both successful and less successful initiatives. These cases cover strategies like language nests and the integration of indigenous languages into education.

 
By exploring the historical roots of language endangerment and explaining essential linguistic concepts, Language Revival Movements provides a comprehensive understanding of this critical endeavor. Structured to systematically explore these issues, the book begins with an introduction to language endangerment and revival. Subsequent chapters delve into the causes of language loss, explore various revival methodologies, and analyze the socio-political dynamics. It concludes with a discussion of the future of language revival, addressing challenges and opportunities in the field of language arts and social science.

    The first critical book on “appropriate technology,” Developing to Scale shows how global health came to be understood as a problem to be solved with the right technical interventions. 
      
    In 1973, economist E. F. Schumacher published Small Is Beautiful, which introduced a mainstream audience to his theory of “appropriate technology”: the belief that international development projects in the Global South were most sustainable when they were small-scale, decentralized, and balanced between the traditional and the modern. His theory gained widespread appeal, as cuts to the foreign aid budget, the national interests of nations seeking greater independence, postcolonial activism, and the rise of the United States’ tech sector drove stakeholders across public and private institutions toward cheaper tools. In the ensuing decades, US foreign assistance shifted away from massive modernization projects, such as water treatment facilities, toward point-of-use technologies like village water pumps and oral rehydration salts. This transition toward the small scale had massive implications for the practice of global health. 
      
    Developing to Scale tells the history of appropriate technology in international health and development, relating the people, organizations, and events that shaped this consequential idea. Heidi Morefield examines how certain technologies have been defined as more or less “appropriate” for the Global South based on assumptions about gender, race, culture, and environment. Her study shows appropriate technology to be malleable, as different constituencies interpreted its ideas according to their own needs. She reveals how policymakers wielded this tool to both constrain aid to a scale that did not threaten Western interests and to scale the practice of global health through the development and distribution of technical interventions.

    “Inside the Montreal Mafia is an entertaining, illuminating, and often sobering look at the downfall of the Rizzuto crime family … Highly readable and engaging.” — Montreal Review of Books
    		 
    A groundbreaking, exclusive inside look at the North American Mafia and the Rizzuto family
    		 
    For the first time in Canadian history, a high-ranking mafioso agreed to break the code of omertà by talking to journalists. From October 2014 to October 2019, Félix Séguin and Eric Thibault held multiple secret meetings with Andrew Scoppa, getting an exclusive inside look at the inner workings of the North American Mafia. This book is the culmination of their perilous investigation. It sheds light on the life — and death — of one of the most influential organized crime figures in recent years.
    		 
    At exactly 2 p.m., there was a knock at the door. It was him: the source every journalist dreamed of having. The short man was armed and placed his gun on a table.
    		 
    “Are you impressed?” he asked with a broad grin.
    		 
    “Yes. Very much.”
    		 
    Before me was Andrew Scoppa, close confidant of the late mafia boss Vito Rizzuto, international heroin trafficker and cold-blooded killer.
