Reseña del libro "Living Language Rights: Constitutional Pathways to Indigenous Language Education (en Inglés)"

Beyond Bilingualism In Living Language Rights: Constitutional Pathways to Indigenous Language Education, Lorena Fontaine's ground-breaking work explores the constitutional foundations and growing recognition of Indigenous language rights in Canada. By documenting the history of First Nations' language transmission on the prairies, Fontaine demonstrates how Indigenous language rights are deeply embedded in both First Nations law and Canadian constitutional law. Equal parts personal and scholarly, Living Language Rights highlights the sacred responsibility within First Nations law to preserve and transmit language. Fontaine argues that language transmission is not only culturally significant, but also a constitutionally protected right that Canada has a duty to uphold--especially following decades of attempted linguistic genocide. Focusing on education as the path to Indigenous language revitalization, she examines the current health of Indigenous languages and urges governments to act. Living Language Rights is a crucial read, filling an important void for anyone seeking to understand Indigenous rights, language revitalization, and Canadian constitutional law.
