Produktbeschreibung
This book traces raciolinguistic ideologies in England's schools, focusing on post- 2010 policy reforms which frame the language practices of low-income, racialised speakers as limited and deficient. Across interviews, policy mechanisms and classroom observations, the author shows how raciolinguistic ideologies are rooted in British colonial logics which continue to shape contemporary education policy. He shows how these policies require marginalised speakers to modify their speech patterns in line with normative standards of whiteness under new guises of social justice and research robustness. Finally, new visions for language education and linguistic justice are offered, demonstrating how teachers can see themselves as language activists to identify, resist and reject faults in a hostile and oppressive policy architecture. This book draws on fields including critical language policy, educational sociolinguistics, genealogy, raciolinguistics and critical language awareness.

Rezensionen
"This book offers compelling insights into how standard language and raciolinguistic ideologies shape contemporary education policy in schools across England. ... The book provides a very detailed historical overview of the sociopolitical structures, institutions, and state-level mechanisms which craft a narrative of linguistic deprivation around minoritized speakers. ... The sheer scope of this book and the new vision of language education it proposes, makes this book an essential text for both educational practitioners and policymakers alike." (Katie Mansfield, Language in Society, Vol. 53 (2), 2024)

"I urge you to read Cushing's very timely book, but before doing so, read Mulwa's startling novel. This is because, read together, they show how colonial history is returning, even in the guts of the ex-colonisers' own schools in the midst of our cities. It is a truth which British Toryism welcomes and applauds with the cruel hubris of vicious imperial nostalgia." (Chris Searle, Morning Star, morningstaronline.co.uk, March 13, 2023)
