Language, democracy and devolution in Catalonia
This book discusses language rights in the context of Catalonia. Miguel Strubell argues that the future of Catalan is insecure and that this demographically weak language needs a firm pro-active policy if it is to survive and thrive. In their responses to his paper, scholars discuss the anomalies that the recatalanisation of public life is causing.
