The Routledge Handbook of Race and Equity in Applied Linguistics provides an authoritative overview of research on racial and epistemic inequities in TESOL and applied linguistics. It focuses on intersecting systems of oppression in institutional, pedagogical, curricular, and policy spaces.Across 27 chapters, contributors critically examine everyday policies and practices, such as hiring bias and discriminatory job ads, which disadvantage multilingual learners and teachers, while amplifying agentive voices seeking change. Organized into four parts and spanning the geographic and epistemic Global South and North, the handbook is both critique and praxis: it offers practical tools for valuing students' full repertoires, challenging native-speaker norms, redesigning curricula and assessment, and linking classroom decisions to program and policy reform. It adopts diverse and groundbreaking lenses-linguistic racism, native-speakerism, commodified hiring, translanguaging, phenomenology, pedagogy of love, Ebunlingualism, decolonial hermeneutics, intersectionality, and critical ethnographies-that counter linguistic, epistemic, racial, and institutional hegemonies.This timely handbook charts a clear decolonial path for students and scholars in TESOL, Applied Linguistics, and Education, while equipping educators and policymakers with the tools to build more just and inclusive environments.

Bringing together diverse perspectives from authors situated in both the Global South and the Global North, this ground-breaking volume takes a critical, decolonial, and global southern approach to exploring colonial epistemologies and pedagogies surrounding textbook discourses and research. Using a South-North inter-epistemic dialogue, the book challenges conventional notions of undertaking research that includes local ways of knowing and Indigenous knowledge. By doing so, the book disrupts colonial ideologies, values, and culture, and instead suggests local Indigenous frameworks and methodologies for textbook research and epistemology. Contributors engage with various methodologies, such as ethnography, action research, textbook analysis, duo-ethnographies, and interview-based studies informed by various theoretical perspectives, including translanguaging, postmethod condition, critical visual literacy, gender decoloniality, critical discourse studies, multi-modality, raciolinguistics, decolonial awakening, Afro-centric epistemologies, decolonial interculturality, and pedagogy of becoming. The chapters also uncover how teacher educators, researchers, and textbook writers view, engage, and negotiate with these discourses. With chapters originating from across the globe (such as Nigeria, Algeria, Pakistan, Indonesia, Colombia, Brazil, Denmark, Chile, Bangladesh, Morocco, and Greece), the book demonstrates rich geographical and epistemological diversity. Ultimately providing a wealth of insights for researchers working on decolonization in TESOL/ELT in general and on ELT textbooks and pedagogy in particular, this book will be of use to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students in the field of curriculum studies and teachers working in the field of language education.
