| Summary | Annotation By what means can a multilingual country arrive at linguistic peace and justice for different language groups? This is the underlying question that inspired McRae's investigation into the state of language conflict in four Western countries. The results, published under the title Conflict and Compromise in Multilingual Societies, include two earlier volumes, on Switzerland (1983) and on Belgium (1986), this volume on Finland and a projected fourth volume on Canada.Conflict and Compromise, Volume 3: Finland examines historical and developmental patterns during the Swedish, Russian and post-independence periods of Finland's history. McRae outlines Finland's changing social structures, showing how the language groups have evolved within these structures in the twentieth century. He compares how Finnish-speaking and Swedish-speaking citizens perceive themselves and other language groups, as well as the similarities and differences in their views on political and social issues. Further, the bookdescribes in detail the constitutional and institutional arrangements for languages in Finland's political and administrative system, as well as in education and the mass media. |
