Ecolinguistics, Social Justice and Sustainability

This latest anthology in the book series, as the title suggests, sets an example for an emerging decolonial/postcolonial approach to ecolinguistics as a global ideology. By drawing on such Latin American frameworks as ecosystemic linguistics and ecosystemic discourse analysis, the eleven closely-connected but diversely-presented chapters offer an all-round critique of the prevailing anthropocentric ideologies, for instance, linguistic imperialism, manifested in various domains such as environmental education and tourism industries, in search for such notions of sustainable tourism as new ecoideologies to live by. * Wenjuan Zhou, Associate Professor,  Inner Mongolia University of Technology, P.

This book opens a window on ecolinguistics as it is being thought and lived from diverse Global South perspectives. The chapters offer grounded, original insights into the links among language, justice, and ecology. A timely and much-needed contribution to the field as a whole. * Douglas Ponton, University of Catania, Italy *
Finally a volume that brings the voices of the Global South to the fore in ecolinguistics. This excellent collection showcases a diversity of environmental and educational practices across Latin America, Africa, and Asia, proving essential reading for anyone committed to truly inclusive and socially conscious ecolinguistic scholarship. A timely contribution! * Sune Vork Steffensen, Professor, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark *
Ecolinguistics, Social Justice and Sustainability makes a meaningful, timely, and insightful contribution to the expanding and diversifying field of ecolinguistics. This is a much needed and valuable addition to the Bloomsbury Advances in Ecolinguistics series and should be a must-read for all scholars in the field. * Robert Poole, Associate Professor of TESOL and Applied Linguistics, The University of Alabama, USA *
