Mendelowitz, Ferreira and Dixon provide us with a compelling account of what critical English teacher education can look like in multilingual and highly unequal contexts. Meticulously and provocatively described and analysed, this is a courageous and honest account of 16 years of experience in critical-creative pedagogies that unsettle dominant language ideologies, and foreground the powerful language resources of multilingual African language speaking students. * Carolyn McKinney, Associate Professor of Language Education, University of Cape Town, South Africa * This searing treatise invites us to become good story tellers and students of society - once again. Troubling the stranglehold of traditional orthodoxy in language education pedagogical designs, this book is a long-awaited addition that deserves a space on the bookshelves of all social scientists committed to thinking and theorizing otherwise. * Finex Ndhlovu, University of New England, Australia *

With its orientation on decolonizing methodologies the book offers a much needed perspective from the global south. * Brigitta Busch, University of Vienna, Austria and Stellenbosch University, South Africa *
