The Oxford Handbook of Language and Race is the first volume to offer a sustained theoretical exploration of all aspects of language and race from a linguistic anthropological perspective. Using state-of-the-art research from a rapidly expanding field, this handbook reveals the ways in which language and race are mutually constituted as social realities. It offers theoretical, reflexive takes on the field of language and race, the larger histories and systems that influence these concepts, the bodies that enact and experience them, and finally, the expressions and outcomes that emerge as a result.
