Linguistic Oppression In The German Empire (1918) (Paperback)

Linguistic Oppression In The German Empire is a book written by Ernest Barker in 1918. The book explores the linguistic policies and practices of the German Empire during the period of its existence from 1871 to 1918. The author examines the ways in which the German government sought to suppress and oppress the languages and cultures of minority groups within its borders, particularly those of the Polish and Danish populations. Barker also discusses the impact of these policies on the social and political dynamics of the empire, and how they contributed to the rise of nationalist movements and tensions between different ethnic groups. The book provides a detailed analysis of the linguistic oppression that occurred in the German Empire, and sheds light on the complex and often fraught relationship between language, identity, and power in a multiethnic society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
