Rezensionen

'...this book offers a distinctive vision of what a more socially-engaged applied linguistics might look like. Those who disagree with such a project should read it so they can sharpen their arguements, and those in favor should read so they can help bring about the changes they seek within the discipline, and perhaps larger ones too.' - LinguistList

"Neoliberalism and Applied Linguistics is a fascinating and highly erudite incursion into the links between these two fields of enquiry by bringing in a wealth of references to philosophy, sociolinguistics and economic policy. Despite its in-depth analysis, it manages to make the topic accessible to a reader not well versed in political economy. By linking Applied Linguistics to political economy the authors of this book have made Applied Linguistics more interesting." London Review of Education
