Critiquing the positioning of children from non-dominant groups as
linguistically deficient, this book aims to bridge the gap between
theorizing of language in critical sociolinguistics and approaches
to language in education. Carolyn McKinney uses the lens of
linguistic ideologies-teachers' and students' beliefs about
language-to shed light on the continuing problem of reproduction of
linguistic inequality. Framed within global debates in
sociolinguistics and applied linguistics, she examines the case of
historically white schools in South Africa, a post-colonial context
where political power has shifted but where the power of whiteness
continues, to provide new insights into the complex relationships
between language and power, and language and subjectivity.
Implications for language curricula and policy in contexts of
linguistic diversity are foregrounded. Providing an accessible
overview of the scholarly literature on language ideologies and
language as social practice and resource in multilingual contexts,
Language and Power in Post-Colonial Schooling uses the conceptual
tools it presents to analyze classroom interaction and ethnographic
observations from the day-to-day life in case study schools and
explores implications of both the research literature and the
analyses of students' and teachers' discourses and practices for
language in education policy and curriculum.
