The original material is still there; however, it has been rewoven to include a broader semiotic realm, a deeper representation of language variation across multiple modalities, a richer set of theoretical and methodological approaches, and a new coherence rooted in the fact that language variation is simultaneously arbitrary and powerfully meaningful. As such, this edition sets a new standard for the presentation and discussion of linguistic discrimination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobin Queen, University of Michigan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith crisp prose and cogent arguments, the authors recreate the eye-opening impact of \u003ci\u003eEnglish with an Accent\u003c\/i\u003e in light of recent movements for social justice, crafting activities, exercises, and discussion questions that directly help readers engage in questions of how language socialization works and how it affects our personal lives as well as our society’s future. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKirk Hazen, West Virginia University\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe prepared to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

This latest version builds on this important foundation while providing significant updates to the coverage of topics and theory. Written in an engaging, provocative style, this new edition by Barrett, Cramer and McGowan is comprehensive and accessible. It will leave readers with greater insight into and critical awareness of the subtle role language variation plays in the maintenance of power today and the marginalization and on-going subordination of particular social groups, in the U.S. and elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarbra A.
