A Cerebration of Language Diversity,Language Policy, and Politics in Education
During the more vitriolic moments of the 1980s “culture wars” in the United States, the “culture warrior” E. D. Hirsch made a clarion call in defense of universal study of the masterworks of the English literay canon. In this work, he
conceded space to the canonical literature of prestige foreign languages but drew a very firm line against linguistic pluralism, which he contrasted to all the virtuous promise of standards as follows: “Linguistic pluralism enormously increases cultural fragmentation, civil antagonism, illiteracy, and economic-technological ineffectualness”
(Hirsch, 1988, p. 91).
