      abstract = {Eduardo Faingold is widely known as an expert on  constitutional and legal guarantees of minority language  rights across the world. In turning to Scandinavia he is  examining countries traditionally sympathetic to minority  rights, thereby providing potential models for other  countries but also laying bare possible gaps between  guarantees on the one hand and practice on the other. This  is an important addition to the literature on language  policy and language rights. Humphrey Tonkin, University of  Hartford, USA There are few academics who have contributed  as much to the growing body of scholarship on issues of  language rights than has Eduardo Faingold. This volume,  concerned with issues of language rights in Scandinavia,  constitutes an important and valuable addition to the  literature in the field. Faingolds insights are clear,  cogent, and powerful, and will be of interest to those  working in a variety of areas, including not only language  policy studies, language planning, and language rights, but  also minority and ethnic studies, and of course  Scandinavian studies. Timothy Reagan, University of Maine,  USA/University of the Free State, South Africa This book  examines the language policies in the constitutions, legal  statutes, and regulations of Sweden, Denmark, Norway,  Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland. In these  countries and territories, modern descendants of Old Norse  (North Germanic) are spoken today: Swedish, Danish,  Norwegian, Icelandic, and Faroese. In addition, there are  regions of Scandinavia where speakers of minority languages  were conquered or incorporated, with their languages  suppressed or neglected, as well as recent developments in  the status and use of English, and immigrant populations  who do not speak a Scandinavian language as their native  language. This book adopts a comparative approach to trace  the development of language policies and rights in  Scandinavia, and it will be of interest to students as well  as scholars of European and Scandinavian studies, applied  linguistics, sociolinguistics, education, political  science, and law. Eduardo D. Faingold is Professor of  Spanish and linguistics at the University of Tulsa, USA.},
