Blurb

This book explores how resurgent nationalism across the globe demands re-examination of many of the theories and practices in applied linguistics and language teaching as political forces seek to limit the movement of people, goods, and services across national borders and, in some cases, enact violence upon those with linguistic and/or ethnic backgrounds that differ from that of the dominant culture. The authors who have contributed to this volume provide careful analysis of nationalist discourses and actions in Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, China, Colombia, Germany, Poland, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and Vietnam. They offer their unique historical and cultural perspectives on the complex relationship between language, identity, and nationhood in each of these countries, as well as practical responses to the fraught political situations that many language educators and policy makers now face.This book will appeal to researchers in applied linguistics and language teaching, as well as second and foreign language teaching professionals working and living in countries where nationalist sentiments are on the rise.

"Documenting the conflicting impacts of globalization and the rise of nationalism in various parts of the world, the many authors in this book show that applied linguists wield a unique though still largely untapped power to help build bridges rather than walls. Drawing on theories of the Global South, the authors of this book contribute to what Suhanthie Motha calls a ‘Nation-conscious Applied Linguistics Practice’. With fresh insights into the role of language and discourse in a deeply troubling and troubled world, this book is a must read for students, researchers and educators in our field".   -- Angel M. Y. Lin, Professor, Faculty of Education, Simon Fraser University, Canada

“In this provocative collection, editor Kyle McIntosh has identified a range of leading applied linguists who are seeking to understand and confront the troubling resurgence of neo-nationalism in diverse regions of the world. Their nuanced insights on language and neo-nationalism are a sobering reminder that language can both promote and undermine struggles for social justice, both within and across national borders. A compelling text at a crucial time in the 21^st Century”.
