Rezension
«If you think you understand language learning, David Hemphill and Erin Blakely will challenge you to think again. This book insightfully shows how today’s schooling, far from exemplifying progress, is rooted in historic processes and practices that organize people into unjust hierarchies. Using marvelous examples to illustrate their keen analysis of the state of U.S. education today, the authors skillfully dislodge assumptions about language and literacy learning that commonly pass as truth.» (Christine Sleeter, Professor Emerita, College of Professional Studies, California State University Monterey Bay)
«David Hemphill and Erin Blakely challenge us to re-engage social theory if we are to understand the persistent reproduction of inequality in our school system. They illuminate the perils of our ahistorical and decontextualized approach to teaching and teacher development, while reminding us of the legacy of colonialism in twenty-first century discussions about the role of schools in our society.» (Jeff Duncan-Andrade, Associate Professor, Raza Studies & Education, San Francisco State University)
