Covering both critical theory and domains of practice, the book is organized around five themes: the politics of knowledge, the politics of language, the politics of difference, the politics of texts, and the politics of pedagogy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecognizing that a changing world requires new ways of thinking, and that many approaches have watered down over time, the new edition applies a sharp, fresh look at established and new intellectual frameworks. The second edition is comprehensively updated with additional research throughout and features new discussions of colonialism, queer theory, race and gender, translanguaging, and posthumanism.

It provides a rich and broad perspective on several different theoretical paradigms of criticality, as well their intersection between questions of language, international exchange, and political economy. This book is incisive in providing relevant accounts of the context behind this complex and multifaceted intersection, and it also serves as a call to action for those who wish to change the present reality.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eWesley Martin\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eEnrique David Degollado\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLanguage in Society\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword: Decolonizing Critical Applied Linguistics by Sinfree Makoni\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Introducing Critical Applied Linguistics \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 The Politics of Knowledge \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 The Politics of Language \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 The Politics of Difference \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 The Politics of Text \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 The Politics of Language Pedagogy \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 Doing Critical Applied Linguistics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReferences \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51017950626135,"sku":"9780367547776","price":37.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/critical-applied-linguistics-9780367547776","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
