Abstract:
SK's book could well be used in a course on 'Language and social issues'. The issue addressed here is the difficulties which minorities and foreign ('guest') workers have in using their own languages and in acquiring the languages of 'host' countries. SK is impassioned about the injustice that characterizes the 'ways in which minorities are prevented from enjoying their fair share of the world's goods' (305), arguing that educational policy fulfills the aims of industrialized nations in exploiting guest workers and immigrants (296). It is in the last chapter ('Violence and minority education') where her thesis is expounded powerfully and convincingly; she claims that physical violence (e.g. corporal punishment in schools) has been largely replaced by structural or symbolic violence or force, as in the use of shame (307, 314).
