Abstract:

This book, which combines scholarly articles with interviews, seeks to
imagine a decolonized sociolinguistics. All the chapters are firmly
grounded in southern approaches to knowledge production, focusing not
only on epistemology but also on the complex relationship between
epistemology and ontology. The chapters address issues ranging from
author positionality to the central theorists of a southern
sociolinguistics, and roam from the language classroom to the church,
in ways which invite us to begin to decolonize ourselves and rethink
normative assumptions about everything from academic writing to
research methods and language teaching. The book provides scholars and
teachers with inspiration for how to teach linguistics in ways that
challenge colonial hegemonies and that allow one to ‘do’
sociolinguistics otherwise. It also makes a powerful argument that
debates about decolonization, southern theory and social justice are
not just academic pursuits: what is at stake is our future and how we
imagine it.
