This book examines racism and racialized discourses in the ELT
profession in South Korea. The book is informed by a number of
different critical approaches to race and discourse, and the
discussions contained in the chapters offer one way of exploring
how the ELT profession can be understood from such perspectives.
Observations made are based on the understanding that racism should
not be viewed as individual acts of discrimination, but rather as a
system of social structures. While the book is principally
concerned with language teaching and learning in South Korea, the
findings are situated in a wider discussion of race and ethnicity
in the global ELT profession. The book makes the following
argument: White normativity is an ideological commitment and a form
of racialized discourse that comes from the social actions of those
involved in the ELT profession; this normative model or ideal
standard constructs a system of racial discrimination that is
founded on White privilege, saviorism and neoliberalism. Drawing on
a wide range of data sources, this book is a must-read for anyone
interested in critically examining ELT.
