Gaelic Language Revitalization Concepts and Challenges: Collected Essays
Emily MacEwan-Fujita
The chapters in this collection focus on a number of interconnected themes, including the intersection of neoliberalism and minority language revitalization; and discourses of language death and revival in literature, media, and academia.
In 1940, in Barra in the Outer Hebrides, an 18-year-old woman, Flòraidh, is persuaded to leave her island home when she learns that her stepmother intends to marry her off to the local shopkeeper. She follows her enigmatic friend Lavinia to the city and changes her identity to Laura, like a butterfly, leaving her chrysalis behind, as they join the war effort.
