The stories in this book - stories of multilingualism, race, identity and power - are vividly retold, sensitively interpreted, and are framed by relevant theory. The outcome is an immensely readable and informative work, unique in that it tells readers about the experiences of elites learning an indigenous language in a rigidly divided socio-political context. These stories certainly hit home. -- Gary Barkhuizen, University of Auckland, New Zealand
