Social Justice, Decoloniality, and Southern Epistemologies within Language Education
Theories, Knowledges, and Practices on TESOL from Brazil
«
"This book brings TESOL from Brazil out of the shadows it has been cast under by its own modernity/coloniality. Its chapters point to a local, post-abyssal perspective on English, hinting at how such situatedness can inspire other localities in their praxes with this language. A must-read, no doubt."
Clarissa Jórdão, Federal University of Paraná, Brazil
"This exhilarating book seeks to delink language education in Brazil from the colonial and hegemonic ways of thinking and doing that have for so long defined the field. The chapters here make a compelling case for a decolonial approach."
Alastair Pennycook, Professor Emeritus, University of Technology Sydney, Australia
"This is an impressive and inspiring call to action for a decolonial approach to TESOL in Brazil. For those of us who have spent many years in Teaching English as an International Language, this collection is a timely reminder that there is still much more to learn from the Global South. Congratulations to the editor and contributors."
Brian Morgan, Senior Scholar, Glendon College/York University, Canada

Les merWith a strong focus on decoloniality and social justice, this volume brings together critical theories, concepts, and practices on TESOL from multiple Brazilian perspectives.
The chapters showcase the work of teachers and teacher educators in confronting sociopolitical issues in Brazil, including in the domains of democracy, language education, and knowledge production, as well as prevailing issues within TESOL itself. Contributions stem from an eclectic range of analytical orientations that reflect ontological and epistemological diversity while demonstrating why, where, and how TESOL is done in Brazil. In doing so, this volume also establishes a place for Southern voices to be heard in the move toward challenging complex and long-standing issues of representation, marginalization, and exclusion that have traditionally characterised North-South relations in TESOL as a field.
This volume seeks to promote Southern-based conversations about decoloniality and social justice in TESOL and will be of direct relevance to graduate students, researchers, and scholars in the field of TESOL and foreign language education.
