Postgraduate and UndergraduateRecenzii
This timely and thoughtful volume is a must-read for anyone wishing to engage with language, power and ideology as they play out in human communities. Drawing in their readers with care and insight, authors demonstrate how linguistic students and scholars can engage with activist practices and disrupt oppressive dynamics.
Eric Louis Russell, University of California-Davis
This textbook offers students an invaluable and unique introduction to scholarship on language and social justice, presenting pertinent case studies on a wide range of issues. Readers are supported, through useful activities, in reflecting upon and engaging critically with discourses which reproduce inequalities, and in becoming activists through their research.
Lucy Jones, University of Nottingham
I believe Language and Social Justice: An Introduction to Linguistic Activism is a call to action and a practical book with ingredients necessary for language educators and activist applied linguists doing work with diverse communities who constantly seek to incorporate a more inclusive and equitable approach in their practice.
