Enacting and Envisioning Decolonial Forces while Sustaining Indigenous Language by Yuliana Hevelyn Kenfield Pdf
Through the presentation of visual and textual insights, this book chronicles the experiences of Quechuan bilingual college students, who strive to maintain their ethnolinguistic identity while succeeding in Spanish-centric curricula. The book merges decolonial theory and participatory action research in pursuit of mobilizing Indigenous languages such as Quechua and depicts the ways in which these Andean college students deal with limited opportunities for Quechua-Spanish bilingual practices. It provides an overview of their collective efforts to mobilize Quechua in higher education, efforts which will help all who read it understand the maintenance of the Quechua language beginning at the grassroots level. The author advocates for engaging language researchers in critical collective forces at the core of conditions which promote Quechua in higher education, a collective effort which must reflect decolonial, non-Eurocentric, non-fundamentalist Indigenous concepts in combination with action-oriented cultural wealth for the benefit of minoritized languages and peoples.

A World of Indigenous Languages by Teresa L. McCarty,Sheilah E. Nicholas,Gillian Wigglesworth Pdf
Spanning Indigenous settings in Africa, the Americas, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Australia, Central Asia and the Nordic countries, this book examines the multifaceted language reclamation work underway by Indigenous peoples throughout the world. Exploring political, historical, ideological, and pedagogical issues, the book foregrounds the decolonizing aims of contemporary Indigenous language movements inside and outside of schools. Many authors explore language reclamation in their own communities. Together, the authors call for expanded discourses on language planning and policy that embrace Indigenous ways of knowing and forefront grassroots language reclamation efforts as a force for Indigenous sovereignty, social justice, and self-determination. This volume will be of interest to scholars, educators and students in applied linguistics, Ethnic/Indigenous Studies, education, second language acquisition, and comparative-international education, and to a broader audience of language educators, revitalizers and policymakers.
The Routledge Handbook of Language and Youth Culture by Bente A. Svendsen,Rickard Jonsson Pdf
The Routledge Handbook of Language and Youth Culture offers the first essential grounding of critical youth studies within sociolinguistic research. Young people are often seen to be at the frontline of linguistic creativity and pioneering communicative technologies. Their linguistic practices are considered a primary means of exploring linguistic change as well as the role of language in social life, such as how language and identity, ideology and power intersect. Bringing together leading and cutting-edge perspectives from thought leaders across the globe, this handbook: • addresses how young people’s cultural practices, as well as forces like class, gender, ethnicity and race, influence language • considers emotions, affect, age and ageism, materiality, embodiment and the political youth, as well as processes of unmooring language and place • critically reflects on our understandings of terms such as ‘language’, ‘youth’ and ‘culture’, drawing on insights from youth studies to help contextualise age within power dynamics • features examples from a wide range of linguistic contexts such as social media and the classroom, as well as expressions such as graffiti, gestures and different musical genres including grime and hip-hop. Providing important insights into how young people think, feel, act, and communicate in the complexity of a polarised world, The Routledge Handbook of Language and Youth Culture is an invaluable resource for advanced students and researchers in disciplines including sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, multilingualism, youth studies and sociology.

The Language Loss of the Indigenous by G. N. Devy,Geoffrey V. Davis,K. K. Chakravarty Pdf
This volume traces the theme of the loss of language and culture in numerous post-colonial contexts. It establishes that the aphasia imposed on the indigenous is but a visible symptom of a deeper malaise — the mismatch between the symbiotic relation nurtured by the indigenous with their environment and the idea of development put before them as their future. The essays here show how the cultures and the imaginative expressions of indigenous communities all over the world are undergoing a phase of rapid depletion. They unravel the indifference of market forces to diversity and that of the states, unwilling to protect and safeguard these marginalized communities. This book will be useful to scholars and researchers of cultural and literary studies, linguistics, sociology and social anthropology, as well as tribal and indigenous studies.

Indigenizing Education by Jeremy Garcia,Valerie Shirley,Hollie Anderson Kulago Pdf
"The co-editors of Indigenizing Education: Transformative Research, Theories, and Praxis bring various scholars, educators, youth, and community voices together in ways that reimagine and recenter a learning process that embodies Indigenous education rooted in critical Indigenous studies and pedagogies. By reimagining Indigenous education, we suggest that it be rooted in opportunities for a deep analysis of the systemic processes and forces of settler colonialism which maintain structures that defy and dismiss our right to engage an education that is critical, culturally sustaining, and centers Native nation-building. Thus, reimagining and recentering an education rooted in critical Indigenous studies and pedagogies becomes a process of activating a critical Indigenous consciousness that renews and sustains goals to activate agency, social change, and advocacy for Indigenous peoples. The chapters are organized across three sections, entitled Indigenizing Curriculum and Pedagogy, Revitalizing and Sustaining Indigenous Languages, and Engaging Families and Communities in Indigenous Education. We close the book with a chapter centered on a call to action for Indigenous teaching and teacher education. We are indebted to the Indigenous youth, families, and communities who have shared their experiences with education across the chapters and who provide pathways to reconceptualize the intersection between research, theories, and praxis in Indigenous education. The co-edited book centers Indigenous epistemologies that serve as points of healing and resistance-leaving us to reaffirm, draw on, and enact Indigenous knowledge as a humanizing pedagogy and as a pedagogy of resistance. Indigenous peoples have systems of education that reflect specific knowledge, worldviews, and relations to natural elements and land which reaffirm one's Indigeneity. The contributing scholar-educators speak to the resilience and strength embedded in Indigenous knowledges. As a result, this book is a quest to understand and learn from the ways in which various Indigenous scholarship and theoretical orientations are evident and enacted with Indigenous youth and educators as well as in Indigenous learning contexts. Indigenous research and theories offers opportunities for Indigenous youth, educators, and community members to engage in transformative praxis. We perceive transformative praxis, we perceive this to be critical to any movement toward Tribal self-determination and sovereignty as it is a dialectical process that includes self-reflection and analysis of the oppressive systems. It is an intentional effort that challenges oppressive systems and applies actions to address and transform issues that have long impacted Indigenous peoples. Of significance, each of the contributors have initiated transformative praxis by activating a critical Indigenous consciousness with diverse Indigenous youth, educators, families, and community members. Across the chapters, you will observe dialogues between Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars as they enacted various theories, shared stories, applied various curriculum and teaching practices, and reflected on the process of engaging in critical dialogues that generates a (re)new(ed) spirit of hope and commitment to intellectual and spiritual sovereignty. The book makes significant contributions to the fields of critical Indigenous studies, critical and culturally sustaining pedagogy, and decolonization. Each of these field are beneficial for Indigenous education, sovereignty, and Native nation-building"--
