Steven,
I suggest that you try to get ahold of Judith Baker, ed. GROUP RIGHTS
(University of Toronto Press, 1994). The book is a collection of essays by
Will Kymlicka and other Canadian philosophers and social theorists. I have
copied the Table of Contents below. The essay by Denise Reaume might be of
particular interest to you, given that it concerns the rights of linguistic
minorities (in Canada). I especially recommend the essay on internal
minorities by Leslie Green (who was my PhD supervisor) which is about the
rights of minorities *within* minority groups, e.g., Deaf queers, black
disabled people, and so on.
Best regards,
Shelley Lynn Tremain

Subject: group rights
Dear Group
I am currently undertaking a research studentship (MPhil/PhD) in
'citizenship and group rights for Deaf people who use sign languages' at the
University of Central Lancashire in Preston, England. My intention is to
set up focus groups in the British Deaf community, using Will Kymlicka's
concept of group rights as a framework. In reviewing the literature, I am
eager to identify references to similar research approaches in relation to
other minority groups or communities. In particular, I seek literature or
research that has employed fieldwork to explore the concept of group rights
for minority communities, and I am also interested in the analytical
approaches that were used in interpreting such qualitative data. Ideas and
comments, references or contacts with other researchers would be very much
appreciated.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
