Reviews

In this most sensitively written volume Leya Mathew lays bare the enmeshed environment in which English in India is caught. Anchored deep in the lives of those on the margins, the books uncovers the various contradictions that policies, human actions, pedagogies, and theories pose to any and all engagements around English; in steady and courageous tones, the book highlights all that we in our various applied linguistics worlds need to pay deep attention to. * Vaidehi Ramanathan, University of California, Davis, USA *
