Carolyn McKinney uses the lens of linguistic ideologies--teachers' and students' beliefs about language--to shed light on the continuing problem of reproduction of linguistic inequality. Framed within global debates in sociolinguistics and applied linguistics, she examines the case of historically white schools in South Africa, a post-colonial context where political power has shifted but where the power of whiteness continues, to provide new insights into the complex relationships between language and power, and language and subjectivity. Implications for language curricula and policy in contexts of linguistic diversity are foregrounded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProviding an accessible overview of the scholarly literature on language ideologies and language as social practice and resource in multilingual contexts, \u003ci\u003eLanguage and Power in Post-Colonial Schooling \u003c\/i\u003euses the conceptual tools it presents to analyze classroom interaction and ethnographic observations from the day-to-day life in case study schools and explores implications of both the research literature and the analyses of students' and teachers' discourses and practices for language in education policy and curriculum. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarolyn McKinney\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor, Language Education, School of Education, University of Cape Town, South Africa. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 178\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 09, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52505126109491,"sku":"9781138844070","price":110.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/dHY3cU9VL0VMdi9IaFNSRGl1ZEFjQT09.webp?v=1760212602","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/language-and-power-in-post-colonial-schooling-ideologies-in-practice-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
