Sri Lankan Lessons: Reimagining Ethnic Habitus through Language Policy and Education by Harsha Dulari Wijesekera, Joseph Lo Bianco
Requirements: .PDF reader, 5 MB
Overview: This book analyses the post-conflict reality of language policy and planning in Sri Lanka. It examines and interprets how socio-politically and economically driven decisions, shaped by both exogenous and endogenous factors, have demonstrably generated negative socially situated conditions that exacerbate existing struggles in state-building in Sri Lanka. The book takes a kaleidoscopic view of the mixed implications of mother-tongue instruction and bilingual education through application of a Bourdieusian lens.
