5.0 out of 5 stars
Good scholarship work,
By A Customer
This review is from: Language, Elites, and the State: Nationalism in Puerto Rico and Quebec (Hardcover)
Language excerpts a special role in culture as well as in people's identity. Those of us who have been obligated to learn another language have also experience the importance that language plays on culture by the way that we were accepted in society during the learning stages. Also by the continuing way that we are treated no matter how highly educated we can be. This book examines the relation of language, nationalism and state, using the examples of Quebec and Puerto Rico. This is an excellent work that I really recommend. This book is not only for those interested in the Quebec or Puerto Rico situation but those who are in general interested in the relation within language, elite's and state. I personally congratulate Mr. Barreto for condensing so much information in a small book. This is something that not all book writers have the skill to do.

Compelling and Engrossing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Language, Elites, and the State: Nationalism in Puerto Rico and Quebec (Hardcover)
Professor Barreto takes a decidedly different turn in regards to his analyzation of nationalism in Quebec and Puerto Rico. His novel perspective provides extremely enlightening insight to the role that 'elites' and 'intelligentia' play in the development of nationalistic tendencies.
