Keeping Culture Alive
(Successfully Story of Language Maintenance of Other Minority)
SUCCESSFUL CASE
IN Hamtramck, Michigan
(a “Polish” town in the US)
Under the “right” circumstances, it is possible to keep a community bilingual without making them socially isolated:
“Hamtramck is an example of a Polish town, in Michigan, that has steadfastly retained its Polish character, in language, religion, and culture, while participating substantially in American life as well.” (Fishman, 2013: 469)
