<span style="font-family:"Book Antiqua","serif";color:black">From bilingual education and racial epithets to gendered pronouns and immigration discourses, language is a central concern in contemporary conversations and controversies surrounding social inequality.
Developed as a collaborative effort by members of the American Anthropological Association’s Language and Social Justice Task Force, this innovative volume synthesizes scholarly insights on the relationship between patterns of communication and the creation
of more just societies. The volume, which includes for the first time a set of case studies that illustrate with striking detail ways that language is implicated in the construction and perpetuation of social hierarchies, brings together leading scholars from
a range of language-related fields to provide concise overviews of key concepts, debates, and approaches in the study of language and social justice. The volume will be divided into sections that address, in three to four short case study essays, topics such
as race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, education, hate speech, and criminal justice, activist or “engaged” research. The wide-ranging chapters will present material focused on various languages, nations, identities, inequalities, institutional settings,
and historical contexts. Collectively, the entries to this volume will powerfully demonstrate how language provides a crucial vantage point from which to understand and contribute to the achievement of social justice. An introduction, co-authored by the editors,
synthesizes recent work and provides an overview of contemporary insights regarding the relationship between patterns of communication and the creation of more just societies. This collection of concise case studies will be ideal for adoption in courses
in anthropology, linguistics, sociology, and communication studies.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
