"Language and Decolonisation is the first collection to bring together views from across scholarly communities that are committed to the agenda of decolonising knowledge in language study. Edited by leading figures in the field, the chapters offer new insights on how 'decolonising' can be adopted as a methodology for charting the next steps in solving practical language-related problems in educational and related social policy areas. Divided into two sections, the book covers coloniality of language, materiality of culture and colonial scripts, the decolonisation imperative, multilingualism discourse and decolonisation, and decolonising languages in public discourse. With 20 chapters, authored by experts from across the globe, this pioneering collection is an essential reference and resource for advanced students, scholars and researchers of language and culture, sociolinguistics, decolonial studies, racial studies, and related areas"-- Provided by publisher.
