Description
Language and Power in Post-colonial Schooling Ideologies in Practice by Carolyn McKinney explores how language is used to reinforce power imbalances in education. The book examines the complex relationships between language, power, and subjectivity in post-colonial contexts, using case studies from historically white schools in South Africa. It sheds light on how linguistic ideologies - teachers' and students' beliefs about language - contribute to the reproduction of linguistic inequality. McKinney's research provides new insights into language curricula and policy in multilingual contexts, highlighting the need for more inclusive approaches to language education.
