Teacher Agency and Double Agents: Reconceptualizing Linguistic Genocide in Education.
Handsfield, Lara J.
Harvard Educational Review, v72 n4 p542-60 Win 2002
This review of "Linguistic Genocide in Education or Worldwide Diversity and Human Rights?" by Tove Skutrabb-Kangas (Erlbaum 2002) finds the book a useful guide for examining language policies in education but suggests its argument is weakened by the invisibility of teachers in the analysis and the loaded and inflammatory language used. (Contains 40 references.) (SK)
