Book Description
Excerpt from Bridging the Atlantic: A Discussion of the Problems and Methods of Americanization It was one day when crossing from aft to fore of the monster ocea'n-liner on which we sailed back to America that some one facetiously remarked, Well, one can practically walk dry shod from Europe to America. These long new ships are regular bridges, for by the time you get to the bow from the stern, she has touched the other shore. When I viewed and talked with some of the immigrants in the steerage and later with other passengers who rarely moved out of the luxurious Palm Garden or First Saloon end of the boat, my heart was a little heavy, for it seemed to me that from third cabin to first was leagues and leagues farther than from France to New York harbor.

Book Description
Language policy is a topic of growing importance around the world, as issues such as the recognition of linguistic diversity, the establishment of official languages, the status of languages in educational systems, the status of heritage and minority languages, and speakers' legal rights have come increasingly to the forefront. One fifth of the American population do not speak English as their first language. While race, gender and religious discrimination are recognized as illegal, the US does not currently accord the same protections regarding language; discrimination on the basis of language is accepted, and even promoted, in the name of unity and efficiency. Setting language within the context of America's history, this book explores the diverse range of linguistic inequalities, covering voting, criminal and civil justice, education, government and public services, and the workplace, and considers how linguistic differences challenge our fundamental ideals of democracy, justice and fairness.
