About the Book

While substantial research has looked backward at the colonial history of language and forward to the potential of decolonizing English for linguistic justice, there is a lack of investigation looking inward at the lived raciolinguistic experiences of multilingual scholars. This edited collection opens a healing space for storytelling and deepens readers' understanding of raciolinguistics in practice through autoethnography. The book brings together language education researchers and scholars, with each author representing and in contact with multiple cultural, linguistic and ethnic backgrounds. Together they create a community of practice to bring scholars with diverse backgrounds together for inward reflections on their lived raciolinguistic experiences. Through this journey, the book empowers both the chapter contributors and readers and allies who may see themselves in the stories to reflect, learn and change their practices, and provides valuable insights into raciolinguistics and autoethnography as a research method.

Review :
This volume offers a powerful yet deeply personal look into the lived raciolinguistic experiences of multilingual scholars. Not only does it subvert dominant narratives, but it also empowers readers to embrace their linguistic identities. Essential reading for anyone committed to dismantling linguistic oppression and fostering equity in academia. I appreciate the opportunity this book provided to actively listen to the lived and often traumatic raciolinguistic experiences of multilingual international scholars who courageously share their powerful stories through autoethnographic methodologies. Their stories and scholarship remind us that we have much work to do in our teaching, research, publishing, and everyday interactions to disrupt raciolinguistic ideologies. This book illustrates how the raciolinguistic memories of multilingual scholars can be powerfully mobilized through autoethnography. By looking inward, the contributors also shed light on how individuals can overcome vulnerability and discomfort to strike a path forward for themselves and their allies. Essential reading for teachers, teacher educators, and researchers.
