Abstract:

The centering of whiteness in English Language Teaching (ELT) renders the
industry callous, corrupt and cruel; or, antisocial. Using the diagnostic
criteria for Antisocial Personality Disorder as a rhetorical device, this book
examines major issues with the ideologies and institutions behind the
discipline of ELT and diagnoses the industry as in dire need of treatment,
with the solution being a full decentering of whiteness. A vision for a more
just version of ELT is offered as an alternative to the harm caused by its
present-day incarnation. With a unique linkage of discourse on whiteness,
language and ability, this book will be necessary reading for students,
academics and administrators involved in ELT around the world.
