Entanglements

This volume is most remarkable for its intellectual humility. Even as it shares insights from some of the most important scholars of decolonial thought and praxis, the volume – and the Forum that led to it – remains committed to diverse perspectives and genuine debate. In refusing ‘a perpetual search for mythical purity’, this volume offers readers a radical example of how to listen carefully and think openly about decoloniality. * Jeff Bale, University of Toronto, Canada *
Anyone cracking under the pressure of neoliberalism would benefit from listening to the voices pushing boundaries in glocal epistemes in this eloquent volume. What is particularly special about this book is that it is not only about entanglements in the negotiation of both space and time in knowledge production in Applied Linguistics; it is in itself an entanglement. * Eric Enongene Ekembe, University of Yaounde 1, Cameroon *
The diverse, renowned collection of scholars in this book push the boundaries of knowledge by showing how colonial and imperial entanglements have shaped most of the analytical concepts that are useful in Applied Linguistics from Global South perspectives. A focus on the ontologies of English complexify entanglements by revealing that scholarship has been entangled with monolingualism rather than multilingual, southern and decolonial projects. * Sibusiso Cliff Ndlangamandla, University of South Africa *
