Breton Road Signs
View through CrossRef
This chapter focuses on the image of bilingual (Breton and French) road signs in Brittany, France. The issue of language policy in Brittany was the subject of several cases brought before the UN Human Rights Committee in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This chapter explores these cases and the way in which they influenced the debate around bilingual road signs in Brittany. It considers what the history of these road signs tells us about international law and its engagement with issues of language, identity, and the politics of ‘the state’, and argues that this story reveals both the legal limits of international law and, paradoxically, the broad reach of its influence as a discourse.
