Reviews

<p> The book is a good collection of thought-provoking papers on the linguistic and educational tension created by the proliferation of vernacular Englishes and the need for language standardisation. --Language and Education, 2008<p> If we believe?that all children have a right to literacy and education, then as professional linguists we are obliged to advocate for more humane and effective ways of achieving this. This will no doubt involve?confronting conservative, blame-the-victims folk models of language and education with the truth about what language differences mean and, perhaps more importantly, what they don?t mean. This volume?makes a significant contribution to this enterprise. I hope it will find its way into many teacher education programs. --Ronald Kephart, Language Policy (2008), 7: 377-379
