This book argues that Linguistics, in common with other disciplines
such as Anthropology and Sociology, has been shaped by
colonization. It outlines how linguistic practices may be
decolonized, and the challenges which such decolonization poses to
linguists working in diverse areas of Linguistics. It concludes
that decolonization in Linguistics is an ongoing process with no
definite end point and cannot be completely successful until
universities and societies are decolonized too. In keeping with the
subject matter, the book prioritizes discussion, debate and the
collaborative, creative production of knowledge over individual
authorship. Further, it mingles the voices of established authors
from a variety of disciplines with audience comment and dialogue to
produce a challenging and inspiring text that represents an
important step along the path it attempts to map out.
