It examines how anti-colonial and post-colonial nations navigate their diverse multilingualism in light of Herder's model of a single language-one nation. The book explores the allure and complexities of Herder's model, highlighting its appeal and challenges for these nations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy does the Herderian model continue to hold significant sway? How has the Herderian ideal of one nation-one language persisted despite the uncomfortable resolutions reached by new multilingual nations as they construct narratives of a singular national mother tongue? To what extent is Herder still relevant in our contemporary world? How have different nations approached the Herderian ideal in distinct ways? What insights can we gain from the ways in which multilingual post-colonial nations confront this crisis about a potential alternative framework for understanding the relationship between language and nation?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo address these questions, Language, Nations, and Multilingualism employs a global perspective, considering the unique characteristics of various colonial experiences and political regimes. By extending the discussion backward in time, the book offers a historical lens to understand how multilingualism has always disrupted the construction of monoglot nations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough a comprehensive exploration of diverse archives across Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean, Language, Nations, and Multilingualism provides answers to these inquiries, offering a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between language and nation in the post-colonial era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 350g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367648404\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104625357050,"sku":"9780367648404","price":43.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1659757012529_book.jpg?v=1660108882","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/language-nations-and-multilingualism-questioning-the-herderian-ideal-9780367648404","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
