Resumen de Fishman’s Cultural Autonomy as an approach to sociolinguistic power-sharing
Meyer’s commentary describes the particularities and priorities of cultural work in indigenous Oaxaca, Mexico, and in minoritized New Mexico, in this context particularly with regards to Navajos and Zunis. It questions the optimism found in Fishman’s Cultural Autonomy propositions and points in particular to the ways in which powerful external and internal forces repress the “choice” offered to these communities.
