Within a rapidly changing world, language, literacy and communication are seen as constituting key elements in the process of lifelong learning. Contemporary technological development and cultural shifts intersect in complex ways with the legacy of colonialism and underdevelopment within developing countries with a colonial history. This book addresses some of these issues related to language and development. Part I explores the relationship between colonial and postcolonial social policies on the unresolved language problems that prevail in many developing countries. Part II comprises case studies of Mali, Pakistan and South Africa. Part III draws on key motifs identified in the previous two sections, and discusses linguistic diversity as an important variable of cultural capital within the interactive global cultural economy. The book?s focus on language, education and development makes it essential reading in Development Studies, International and Comparative Education, Sociology and Educational Policy Studies. Its focus on language issues within the global cultural economy would make it an important text in Applied Linguistic Studies. 410 0$aLinguistic diversity and language rights ;$v4. 606 $aLanguage and education$zDeveloping countries 606 $aLanguage policy$zDeveloping countries 615 0$aLanguage and education 615 0$aLanguage policy 676 $a306.44/9091724 700 $aRassool$b Naz$f1949-$01479940 701 $aCanvin$b Maggie$01543549 701 $aHeugh$b Kathleen$01543550 701 $aMansoor$b Sabiha$01543551 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784009803321 996 $aGlobal issues in language, education and development$93797071 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04050nam 22007452 450 001 9910826855103321 005 20160418143356.0 010 $a1-107-22080-7 010 $a1-139-01247-9 010 $a1-283-01599-4 010 $a9786613015990 010 $a1-139-01168-5 010 $a1-139-01194-4 010 $a1-139-01115-4 010 $a1-139-01088-3 010 $a0-511-97682-8 010 $a1-139-01141-3 035 $a(CKB)2560000000061394 035 $a(EBL)667616 035 $a(OCoLC)707068374 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000467933 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12140875 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000467933 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10490808 035 $a(PQKB)10346763 035 $a(UkCbUP)CR9780511976827 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC667616 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL667616 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10452906 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL301599 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000061394 100 $a20101012d2011|||| uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aCongress in black and white $erace and representation in Washington and at home /$fChristian R.

But beyond symbolism, does the election of African-American politicians matter? Grose argues that it does and presents a unified theory of representation. Electing African-American legislators yields more federal dollars and congressional attention directed toward African-American voters. However, race and affirmative action gerrymandering have no impact on public policy passed in Congress. Grose is the first to examine a natural experiment and exceptional moment in history in which black legislators - especially in the U.S. South - represented districts with a majority of white constituents. This is the first systematic examination of the effect of a legislator's race above and beyond the effect of constituency racial characteristics. Grose offers policy prescriptions, including the suggestion that voting rights advocates, the courts, and redistricters draw 'black decisive districts', electorally competitive districts that are likely to elect African Americans. 517 3 $aCongress in Black & White 606 $aAfrican American legislators 606 $aGerrymandering$zUnited States 606 $aAfrican Americans$xGovernment policy 606 $aCivil rights$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aRepresentative government and representation$zUnited States 615 0$aAfrican American legislators. 615 0$aGerrymandering 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aCivil rights$xGovernment policy 615 0$aRepresentative government and representation 676 $a328.730089/96073 700 $aGrose$b Christian R.$01602786 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826855103321 996 $aCongress in black and white$93926843 997 $aUNINA
