Integrating lucid theoretical exposition with a series of vivid first-hand accounts of university teaching, this book is a vital point of reference for anyone asking what decoloniality and linguistic citizenship might actually mean for their own practice in higher education.
Ben Rampton, Professor of Applied Linguistics and Sociolinguistics, King’s College London, UK
Deepening linguistic citizenship, Bock and Stroud present here pluriversal ways of acting linguistically in order to disengage from language coloniality. Centering voices from South Africa, language is presented here as loving entanglements with Others, opening up alternative forms of knowledge and new indexical orderings to reimagine multilingualism and social justice work worldwide.
Ofelia García, Professor Emerita, The Graduate Center, City University of New York, USA
As an exploration into the transformative potential of multilingualism, this edited collection is an important contribution to sociolinguistics.
