as well as the challenges of describing languaging in education settings of the South. </span></font><font face="Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,serif,EmojiFont" size="3"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">I argue that the appeal of a concept like translanguaging
in the South has been the potential it offers for disrupting monoglossic language ideologies. Some have argued that translanguaging is yet another ‘Northern concept’ inappropriately taken up in the South. Others have critiqued claims of </span></font><font face="Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,serif,EmojiFont" size="3"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">translanguaging
as a liberatory practice. </span></font><font face="Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,serif,EmojiFont" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">While translanguaging has significant transformative and emancipatory potential, no language practice is inherently transformative. </span></font><font face="Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,serif,EmojiFont" size="3"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">Drawing
on the decolonial concept of pluriversality, I argue for recognizing both the fluidity and fixity of language practices in pedagogical contexts along with explicit teaching of the relationships between language and po</span></font><font face="Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,serif,EmojiFont" size="3"><span lang="en-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">wer
that produce racialized hierarchies of language. </span></font></span></font></div>
