Summary, etc. One of the most topical of all problems today<br/>worldwide in its scope, is the fate of cultural<br/>minorities. They are, or have recently been, the<br/>centre of constitutional crises in Belgium.<br/>Britain, Canada, France and Spain, the objects<br/>of discrimination in Southern and Eastern Africa<br/>and the Far East; and the cause of civil war in<br/>Burundi, Cyprus, Iraq, Lebanon and Nigeria.<br/>In South America and Australia primitive<br/>cultures have been the victims of the process of<br/>economic development, while in North America<br/>the indigenous inhabitants are now clamouring<br/>for the restoration of old, forgotten or<br/>deliberately ignored economic and social rights.<br/>In Ireland efforts to revive and encourage the<br/>original culture have not been as successful as<br/>hoped. Yet examples of peaceful cultural co-<br/>existence in Switzerland and Finland show that<br/>the scene is not entirely dark.<br/>An original and interdisciplinary approach to<br/>the problems faced by cultural minorities is<br/>presented in this collection of essays by political<br/>and social scientists and experts in socio-<br/>linguistics, education, law and the mass media.<br/>The theme of the book is the future of cultural<br/>minorities caught between the development of<br/>national and global societies and the associated<br/>convergence of cultures on the one hand, and<br/>the growing centralism and uniformity of<br/>modern government on the other. Among the<br/>is examined are the economic, social and<br/>lira- stic factors making for the viability or<br/>oli vise si the minority culture itself; reverse<br/>discrimination; the position of the mass media;<br/>and the various constitutional measures used to<br/>promote or hinder the development of minority<br/>cultures.
