Review :
This is a wonderfully probing volume that takes nothing for granted about the role of English and English language teaching in postcolonial contexts across our globe. Based on their own close ethnographic knowledge, the authors offer critical analyses of contradictions and tensions in real cases of language education planning in these multilingual contexts, and the commentators and editors engage in serious dialogue with them about the cases and the tendencies they reveal. The overall effect is a rousing call -- and some guiding principles -- to construct language in education policy and pedagogy in ways that enable hitherto marginalised groups to grab hold of new possibilities and opportunities as they emerge under the forces of globalisation. An excellent provocative book. As ever, Multilingual Matters keeps up the good work. The critical construction paradigm adopted by the authors is a very positive and exciting development in LIE-PP studies. I have every confidence that the volume will fulfill its promise to offer not only policy and practice critiques but also practical policy, pedagogy and curriculum alternatives. The essays in this collection tie together cohesively and make an important contribution to research approaches in LIE and LPP. The critical construction paradigm put forth by Lin and Martin is appropriate, timely and inspiring for ethnographic researchers, educators, and scholars interested in language policy issues and practices in postcolonial and multilingual educational contexts. The diversity of the contributors and contributions is a testament to this volume’s editors, and to the impact that this work will have on future scholars. This book informs us richly about the difficulties and inequalities of education, language choice and life opportunities in complex language communities. Decolonization, Globalization is a must-read for anyone who is interested in issues in language-in-education policies and practices in post-colonial societies.
