Inhaltsangabe

Postsecondary language classrooms perpetuate racial discrimination and linguistic inequalities, posing a significant problem for racialized students who face institutional barriers and erasure of their linguistic identities. Interrogating Race and Racism in Postsecondary Language Classrooms, edited by Xiangying Huo and Clayton Smith, offers a transformative solution by confronting deeply ingrained racism, linguicism, and neo-racism in language education. Through an intersectional lens, the book exposes these issues and provides practical strategies to combat injustice, fostering inclusive learning environments. With topics ranging from power dynamics to anti-oppressive pedagogies, the book equips readers with tools to effect meaningful change. By amplifying marginalized voices and emphasizing anti-racist and anti-colonial practices, it empowers educators and policymakers to dismantle oppressive systems. This comprehensive resource has the potential to reshape language classrooms and create equitable educational landscapes that value diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, contributing to a more just and inclusive society.
