"This book presents an innovative interpretation of the ideological and discursive processes that have emerged out of issues concerning the regulation of minorities within the United Nations. It reveals the importance of the reproduction of the interests of nation-states within an international organization and the reproduction of power through the legal management and control of linguistic minorities."--BOOK JACKET.
