This book explores language at the intersection of race and ethnicity and the institutional practices that still make for uneven access to education, resources and a sense of belonging. It takes a clear anti-racist stance in the way it examines issues of language and power, linguistic prejudice, attitudes toward language and linguistic varieties. The chapters cover the experiences of the authors in their personal and professional lives, combining traditional academic texts with highly identity-driven genres that include autoethnography and the reflective essay, in addition to providing narrated resources for teachers. The result is a dynamic, innovative volume that dialogues openly with one of the most serious and pertinent debates of our time: how to instigate institutional change that moves us away from racist practices. The book is a reflection on how teachers and scholars can incorporate anti-racism pedagogy and thought into their practice.

Industry Reviews

This book examines ideas of equality, equity, belonging, anti-racism, the centrality of decoloniality, linguistic justice, prejudice and diversity. The authors earnestly take on the task of changing the conversations around the perceptions of these concepts, working toward real-world effects. * Akua Duku Anokye, Arizona State University, USA *
Enacting anti-racism requires a great deal of courage, commitment, and critical reflection. The authors of this volume accomplish this task successfully, while offering their insights in an accessible manner. Reflective accounts of their personal experiences and conceptual discussions build powerful pathways towards forging resistance and affirming human dignity. * Ryuko Kubota, University of British Columbia, Canada *
