"This second edition of English with an Accent exceeds the high standard of research excellence that Lippi-Green first displayed in 1997. This new book introduces keen insights about language, justice, discrimination, and the human condition in America."

John Baugh, Margaret Bush Wilson Professor in Arts and Sciences, Washington University in St. Louis, USA

"English with an Accent is an encyclopedic, cutting-edge update of Lippi-Green's classic text on language subordination. Hard-hitting and thought-provoking, this is an essential work."

Jane H. Hill, Regents' Professor of Anthropology and Linguistics (Emerita), University of Arizona, USA
