Reviews

Writing in a forceful but engaging style that is just as often memoir as it is polemic, Gerald pulls no punches and joins a growing and increasingly assertive community of critical scholars who are challenging the very foundations on which the 'teaching of standardized English' is constructed. This makes for compelling, even if (for some of us) unsettling, reading. * Scott Thornbury, formerly at The New School, New York, USA * Brimming with insights from research, practice, and personal experience, Gerald makes a passionate case for demolishing the status quo in English language teaching. In witty and refreshingly candid prose, he integrates critical perspectives on racism and disability justice to imagine a different system - one that is more prosocial, inclusive, and above all else, honest. * Neda Maghbouleh, University of Toronto, Canada * Combining key insights from critical race theory and disability studies, JPB Gerald provides a stunning overview of how racial ideologies shape language teaching in ways that consistently privilege whiteness. Weaving personal narratives with astute theoretical insights, Gerald provides a guide for creating a more just system of language learning. * Victor Ray, University of Iowa, USA *
