This title calls for a reappraisal of the consensus within sociology that dismisses language as an important feature of individual and collective identity. It argues that the cause of many past ethnic movements was the preoccupation of nation states with establishing a common language.

Pilgrimage: A Journey Through Colorado's History and Culture

Regional U.S.

From Cripple Creek to the Santa Fe Trail, Mesa Verde to the mountain towns of Leadville and Steamboat Springs, Colorado provides travelers and natives with a spectrum of beauty that is both awesome and austere. Drawn by the lingering mystique of conquistadores and wild, hot-blooded boom-town mining camps, Stephen May takes us on a physical and spiritual journey, through a Colorado alive with a sense of its rich frontier history. Interweaving tales from mountains, plains, canyons, and river basins, May explores the old towns and the history, and folklore of the region with townspeople, fellow travelers, naturalists, artists, gas station attendants, and waitresses—the colorful, casual willing communicants we all hope to encounter on the road. But the charm of May's story is in the nature of its telling. With the refinement of some of the first Victorian travel writers who toured Colorado in tweeds, May peppers his account with what Frank Waters has called “a search for the soul, the spirit of place.” Along with illustrations of people and places, May supplies anecdotes about a wide range of Colorado personalities and events. Jack Dempsey (coming of age in Cripple Creek), “Uncle Dick” Wootton (who once built a toll road over Raton Pass), Zebulon Pike, Walt Whitman, and Oscar Wilde all figure in May's account. He takes us on a risky (and illegal) belay over the side of a pueblo wall with a reformed artifacts robber to record, with eyes only, a cache of thirteenth-century Anasazi pots. He covers the landscape by Jeep and on foot, but whether talking with one of the multitude of climbers who dot the rock formations in Boulder canyon any sunny afternoon or listening to an 'old timer' living at the base of Loveland Pass, May's tale is warm and evocative, a true panorama of the diversity of Colorado.

The second edition addresses new theoretical and empirical developments since its initial publication, including the burgeoning influence of globalization and the relentless rise of English as the current world language. May’s broad position, however, remains largely unchanged. He argues that the causes of many of the language-based conflicts in the world today still lie with the nation-state and its preoccupation with establishing a 'common' language and culture via mass education. The solution, he suggests, is to rethink nation-states in more culturally and linguistically plural ways while avoiding, at the same time, essentializing the language-identity link. This edition, like the first, adopts a wide interdisciplinary framework, drawing on sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, sociology, political theory, education and law. It also includes new discussions of cosmopolitanism, globalization, the role of English, and language and mobility, highlighting the ongoing difficulties faced by minority language speakers in the world today.
