Beskrivning

When you hear someone speak or see someone sign, they reveal their identities and communities: language holds who we are and who we are becoming. This book explores how the ways we think about and use language shapes the identities, histories, and places around us by asking two questions: What could our communities sound and feel like if voiced, monolingual Mainstream American English wasn’t the assumed norm? And how can we change our listening before we ask others to change their language?Through examples in classrooms, communities, universities, homes, libraries, and virtual spaces, we explore the concepts of language justice and linguistic justice. Each chapter features voices and stories from the grassroots collective the Linguistic Justice Collaborative to examine the research and historical contexts behind language, race, history, and place interwoven with practical examples and case studies from linguistically inclusive and sustaining spaces. From developing a Deaf studies curriculum to subversive teaching in world language classrooms to sustaining Black linguistic joy in the home, each chapter explore how language and linguistic justices are being pursued through participatory research and a clear theory of change.Practical action steps are provided to help educators, families, youth, administrators, researchers, and anyone committed to language and linguistic justices to enact change. By addressing whose languages, literacies, and histories are prioritized and whose are marginalized, this book offers a framework and action plan for building more culturally, historically, and linguistically responsive learning environments across classrooms and communities.

“If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to move beyond allyship and become an accomplice—someone who works alongside marginalized communities in meaningful ways—this book offers a powerful example. At once grounded, incisive, and practical, it shows that real solidarity is built through sustained action in purposeful partnerships.”--Alexandra (Ale) Babino, Associate Professor of Literacy & Language, Texas Woman’s University“Language, race, history, place. Language and Linguistic Justices in Classrooms and Communities explores these themes through creative examples of linguistic justice in/with marginalized communities. This book is an invaluable guide to participatory collaboration that unapologetically centers the place-based nature of languages to reimagine linguistic justice in a time of increased injustice.”-- Kindel Turner Nash, Spangler Distinguished Professor of Early, Appalachian State University“Language and Linguistic Justices... untangles language from the literacy matrix, weaving it with history, power, and place. This essential resource provides educators and researchers with a valuable foundation and practical applications—empowering K-12 and higher education teachers with opportunities to critically reflect and authentically support all students’ diverse language varieties.”-- Roberta Price Gardner, Associate Professor of Reading and Literacy Education, Kennesaw State University
