By Ernest Barker

Book Overview

Linguistic Oppression In The German Empire (1918) is a book written by Ernest Barker that explores the history of language oppression in Germany during the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed account of how the German Empire used language as a tool of oppression against minority groups, particularly the Polish and Danish populations in the eastern provinces. Barker examines the policies and practices of the German government and the impact they had on the linguistic and cultural identity of these minority groups. He also discusses the resistance and efforts made by these groups to preserve their languages and cultures in the face of oppression. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of language oppression, minority rights, and the impact of language policies on cultural identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
