Colonial Temporality and Writing Education

Rezensionen / Stimmen

This insightful book examines how colonial and neoliberal temporal regimes - with a particular focus on China and Saudi Arabia - shape English writing education under the influence of the Global North. By revealing how time itself operates as a tool of power, the book is a valuable contribution to postcolonial theory, education and the sociology of time. A recommended read for students, educators, and scholars alike. * Filip Vostal, Czech Academy of Sciences, Czechia * Through illuminating how Western notions of temporality have shaped global educational policies and infrastructures, this book offers new ways to recognize how practices in language and literacy education continue to enact colonial imperatives. Expertly synthesizing their primary research with relevant research in linguistics, composition studies, rhetoric, and ESL, You and Barnawi provide fresh insights for engaged teachers, administrators, and scholars who seek to decolonize literacy education responsibly and effectively. * Tony Scott, Syracuse University, USA *
