I just wanted to say that Amazon didn’t make clear that the book I ordered would come from the U.K. They also didn’t make clear that why pay for 2 day shipping when the book takes a month and a half to arrive. They might ship in two days but that’s when they receive it. So they take your money for expedite shipping for no reason.
Extremely disappointed !!!

In the glocalized context of hegemonic forces of assimilation and English (only), this book comes just in time for educators, researchers, parents and policy makers. It allows us to better understand the factors that contribute to the oppression of minoritized languages and their speakers and the ways these factors have been overcome in different settings. If offers a space to imagine ideal circumstances for multilingual schools across divergent settings, a vital aspect to the vision, hope and forward movement of those who believe in strength of a multilingual and multicultural society. A must read and re-read!!
