Recenzii

Drawing on postcolonial and critical race theory, Sterzuk moves us beyond the typical linguistic and pedagogical responses to English language variation. In a cogently written, accessible style, she argues for an honest reckoning with colonial discourses and racialized identities to confront biased educational practices. A tour de force in anti-racist education.Shondel Nero, New York University, USASterzuk's many-layered but extremely accessible writing reflects a depth of scholarship and reflection on what it means to teach and learn in "white settler" environments. Skilfully combining an exhaustive analysis of the literature with lively anecdotes from real classroom data, Sterzuk presents a convincing case for immediate and radical change in the ways we educate Indigenous students and those who teach them. There is no-one working in language education - first or second - to whom I would not recommend this book.Mela Sarkar, McGill University, CanadaOverall, "The Struggle for Legitimacy: Indigenised Englishes in Settler Schools" is personal and intimate without being garrulous or excessively introspective; it is transparent and readable without being condescending or over-simplistic; and it relates clearly to a target audience with clear proposals for changes to their practice.Dr. Dave Sayers, Swansea University, UK on the LINGUIST List 23.418
