This book, which combines scholarly articles with interviews, seeks
to imagine a decolonized sociolinguistics. All the chapters are
firmly grounded in southern approaches to knowledge production,
focusing not only on epistemology but also on the complex
relationship between epistemology and ontology. The chapters
address issues ranging from author positionality to the central
theorists of a southern sociolinguistics, and roam from the
language classroom to the church, in ways which invite us to begin
to decolonize ourselves and rethink normative assumptions about
everything from academic writing to research methods and language
teaching. The book provides scholars and teachers with inspiration
for how to teach linguistics in ways that challenge colonial
hegemonies and that allow one to ‘do’
sociolinguistics otherwise. It also makes a powerful
argument that debates about decolonization, southern theory and
social justice are not just academic pursuits: what is at stake is
our future and how we imagine it.
