'Neatly orchestrating his analysis with admirable concision and lucidity, Kuipers has composed an insightful study that is thoroughly accessible to any reader interested in the shifting nexus between language and power.' Benjamin G. Zimmer, The Times Literary Supplement
The spread of the national language in Indonesia has threatened local languages. On Sumba a tradition of ritual poetic speech has waned, although new hybrid forms of poetic expression are emerging. Political coercion is a partial explanation, but so is the role of linguistic ideologies.
