Race, Empire, and English Language Teaching

Takes a critical look at the teaching of English, showing how language is used to create hierarchies of cultural privilege in schools. Motha closely examines the work of four ESL teachers who developed anti-racist pedagogical practises during their first year of teaching. Their experiences, and those of their students, provide a compelling account of how new teachers might gain agency for culturally responsive teaching in spite of school cultures that often discourage such approaches.
