Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Rooted in a profound commitment to engaged scholarship, Avineri and Baquedano-Lopez's An Introduction to Language and Social Justice is a pathbreaking contribution which powerfully synthesizes diverse insights and generously offers multiple entry points for dynamic praxis linking communication to the creation of more just societies."

Jonathan Rosa, Stanford University, USA

"As a comprehensive review of the tenets of language and social justice research, An Introduction to Language and Social Justice adeptly synthesizes a heretofore heterogeneous collection of scholarship into one unified text. The book is expertly designed as a pedagogical tool with social justice principles at its base."

Robin Conley Riner, Marshall University, USA

"This volume stands out for its interdisciplinary perspective which has made it an essential text for students and researchers from multiple perspectives across linguistics, applied linguistics, linguistic anthropology, and beyond. Needless to say that for scholars, students and activists seeking to link communication to social transformation, this book certainly offers vital guideposts for that important journey. In all, the book offers an accessible yet conceptually rich and actionable framework for understanding language inequities and collaborating for social transformation, making it a valuable resource for advancing the intersections of language studies and social justice."
