Biography
Alastair Pennycook is Professor Emeritus of Language, Society and Education in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Technology Sydney, Australia.
"This book is therefore not only useful to the language teacher or to the applied linguist, but also to a multidisciplinary array of scholars, such as the sociolinguist and the linguistic anthropologist. It provides a rich and broad perspective on several different theoretical paradigms of criticality, as well their intersection between questions of language, international exchange, and political economy. This book is incisive in providing relevant accounts of the context behind this complex and multifaceted intersection, and it also serves as a call to action for those who wish to change the present reality."
- Wesley Martin and Enrique David Degollado, Language in Society
