Minority Languages, Education and Communities in China outlines and reflects on the status and situation of minority communities, their languages and educational practices by identifying policies and progress in different regions and time spans. The work is based on studies into the language policy, implementation arrangements, and outcomes. It contains fresh case study material from field work in Yunnan, Hunan, Guizhou, Xinjiang and the Tibet region from 1995 to 2007. It also examines current research and programs for foreign minorities currently underway inHong Kong. Particular attention is paid to the attributes of minority language themselves and their unique communities. Recognising that national and local policies towards minorities are frequently conceived forrhetorical or political reasons, it looks critically at language outcomes in regard to policy, stakeholder acceptance, and classroom practice. The study also identifies challenges which lie ahead resulting from recent economic and social change, the impact of globalization and concerns over human rights issues and democratic expression.
