Language, Nation, and Identity in the Classroom

Legacies of Modernity and Colonialism in Schooling

“This book insightfully shows how today’s schooling, far from exemplifying progress, is rooted in historic processes and practices that organize people into unjust hierarchies. Using marvelous examples to illustrate their keen analysis of the state of U.S. education today, the authors skilfully dislodge assumptions about language and literacy learning that commonly pass as truth.” —Christine Sleeter, Professor Emeritus, California State University Monterey Bay
