Richard Pugh (Keele University) will guest edit a special issue of the journal Patterns of Prejudice on Language and Discrimination, to be published in September 2005.
The role that language plays in racial or ethnic stereotyping and discriminatory practices is widely noted but the position of minority languages is less frequently explored. Minority languages are often subsumed in discussions of race and ethnicity and consequently remain an under-recognized aspect of prejudice and discrimination. However, political upheavals throughout Europe and the wider world together with the resurgence of assertions of ethnic identity are increasingly focusing attention on the experiences of various linguistic minorities, including the Roma, refugees and asylum-seekers as well as indigenous or long-established linguistic minorities within countries.
