In light of changing digital communication, this book addresses issues including a shift from a focus on oral to written practices; the rise of new communities of practice and communicative domains; and the need for resulting shifts in language policy and teaching methods when applied to minority (or autochthonous) heritage languages

"As nationalism rages and displacement proliferates, the plight of people rendered stateless by law is both understudied and ever more urgent. In Ghost Citizens Legal scholar Jamie Chai Yun Liew explores what it means to be stateless as a shattering legal condition, a lived experience and arena of powerful struggle for genuine justice. Told through an examination of legal processes and vivid personal accounts of stateless life, Liew offers a bold and unique approach to understanding a global experience and a double oppression: of being invisible and feared in law. By tracing British colonial legal vestiges in the case study of Malaysia, Ghost Citizens shows how contemporary juridical states deploy legal and historical ideas of racial categories to create and maintain statelessness. This book challenges established norms of state recognition and calls for a discussion of new ideas, borrowed from other areas of law including Indigenous legal traditions and family law, about how we should organize our communities with more respectful relations and treatment among kin."--

Anthem of Misogyny: The War on Women in North Africa and the Middle East argues that misogyny-which operates through an interconnected network of ideologies, institutions, beliefs, aesthetics, and cultural trends-is too complex and too deep rooted to eradicate with superficial changes. Like a national anthem, misogyny in North Africa and the Middle East has acquired a sacred status. It is accepted uncritically and woven effortlessly into daily practices, creating a community of men of different ages, educational levels, and socioeconomic backgrounds who are united in their sense of entitlement to evaluate, scrutinize, deter, question, and expose women. For women, it is as if they are in a state of perpetual war, forever on the verge of being accused of deviating from the norms and being punished. These norms, however, are neither clear nor predictable. This study of misogyny is written against a dominant orthodoxy in Western feminism. Critics are accused of gendered orientalism, savior complexes, and even Islamophobia if they dare to bring up misogyny and gender-based violence in North Africa and the Middle East in contexts other than calling it a Western-created issue. Rather than exaggerate Western agency, this book is invested in making Muslim agency visible. There are narratives of violence and injustice that produce discomfort, anger, and even despair. These stories deserve to be told, and those behind the injustices are entitled to an unfiltered portrayal because the non-West, too, is deserving of unapologetic feminist critique
