Description
This book traces raciolinguistic ideologies in England’s schools, focusing on post- 2010 policy reforms which frame the language practices of low-income, racialised speakers as limited and deficient.
“I urge you to read Cushing’s very timely book, but before doing so, read Mulwa’s startling novel. This is because, read together, they show how colonial history is returning, even in the guts of the ex-colonisers’ own schools in the midst of our cities. It is a truth which British Toryism welcomes and applauds with the cruel hubris of vicious imperial nostalgia.” (Chris Searle, Morning Star, morningstaronline.co.uk, March 13, 2023)
Ian Cushing is Senior Lecturer in English and Education at Edge Hill University, UK. His work examines the ways in which language ideologies get transformed into policies and pedagogies, and how these work against marginalised groups. His work has appeared in journals such as Language in Society, Language Policy, British Educational Research Journal and Critical Inquiry in Language Studies.
