In the wake of #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, #rhodesmustfall and the Covid-19 pandemic, this groundbreaking book echoes the growing demand for decolonization of the production and dissemination of academic knowledge. Reflecting the dynamic and collaborative nature of online discussion, this conversational book features interviews with globally-renowned scholars working on language and race and the interactive discussion that followed and accompanied these interviews. Participants address issues including decoloniality; the interface of language, development and higher education; race and ethnicity in the justice system; lateral thinking and the intellectual history of linguistics; and race and gender in a biopolitics of knowledge production. Their discussion crosses disciplinary boundaries and is a vital step towards fracturing racialized and gendered epistemic systems and creating a decolonized academia.
How sociolinguistics would look if it were conceptualized through Southern discourses is the running thread throughout not just this volume but, so far, the entire decolonial series of the Global Forum from which the volume is derived. This book is a must-read for scholars in both the North and South interested in the decolonizing of Northern sociolinguistics. * Ashraf Abdelhay, Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, Qatar * This collection of chapters and comments provides potent and polyphonic examples of how collaborative thinking may contribute to decolonizing our structures of knowledge production and dissemination. By focusing on global and common themes, this book opens up space for an ethical and political dialogue between the North and the South. It offers inspiring examples on how we can challenge the capitalist face of scholarship. * Cristine Severo, Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil *
