Abstract:

Language, whether spoken, written, or signed, is a powerful resource
that is used to facilitate social justice or undermine it. The first
reference resource to use an explicitly global lens to explore the
interface between language and social justice, this volume expands our
understanding of how language symbolizes, frames, and expresses
political, economic, and psychic problems in society, thus
contributing to visions for social justice.

Investigating specific case studies in which language is used to
instantiate and/or challenge social injustices, each chapter provides
a unique perspective on how language carries value and enacts power by
presenting the historical contexts and ethnographic background for
understanding how language engenders and/or negotiates specific social
justice issues. Case studies are drawn from Africa, Asia, Europe,
North and South America and the Pacific Islands, with leading experts
tackling a broad range of themes, such as equality, sovereignty,
communal well-being, and the recognition of complex intersectional
identities and relationships within and beyond the human world.

Putting issues of language and social justice on a global stage and
casting light on these processes in communities increasingly impacted
by ongoing colonial, neoliberal, and neofascist forms of
globalization, Language and Social Justice is an essential resource
for anyone interested in this area of research.
