Now in its second edition, this accessible guide and introduction
to critical applied linguistics provides a clear overview of the
problems, debates, and competing views in language education,
literacy, discourse analysis, language in the workplace,
translation, and other language-related domains. Covering both
critical theory and domains of practice, the book is organized
around five themes: the politics of knowledge, the politics of
language, the politics of difference, the politics of texts, and
the politics of pedagogy. Recognizing that a changing world
requires new ways of thinking, and that many approaches have
watered down over time, the new edition applies a sharp, fresh look
at established and new intellectual frameworks. The second edition
is comprehensively updated with additional research throughout and
features new discussions of colonialism, queer theory, race and
gender, translanguaging, and posthumanism. With a critical focus on
the role of applied linguists, Pennycook emphasizes the importance
of a situated, collaborative perspective that takes the discussion
away from questions of implementation, and insists instead that
critical applied linguistics has to be an emergent program from the
contexts in which it works. This landmark text is essential reading
for students and researchers of applied linguistics,
multilingualism, language and education, TESOL, and language and
identity.
