Abstract:

This book contributes new perspectives from the Global South on the ways in
which linguistic and discursive boundaries shape inequalities in educational
contexts, ranging from Amazonian missions to Mongolian universities. Through
critical ethnographic and sociolinguistic analysis, the chapters explore how
such boundaries contribute to the geopolitics of colonialism, capitalism and
myriad, interwoven, forms of social life that structure both oppression and
resistance. Boundaries are examined across time and space as relational
constructs that mark the terms upon which admission to groups, institutions,
territories, or practices are granted. The studies further present alternative
educational approaches that demonstrate the potential for agency and
transgression, highlighting moments of boundary crossing that disrupt existing
linguistic ideologies, language policies and curriculum structures.
