Reviews

Paola Giorgis' strength is praxis: she shows how to turn theoretical writings into informed applied choices. She presents the foreign language classroom as both a critical and an intercultural space - as indeed it is. -- Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz, Director, Center for Intercultural Dialogue Paola Giorgis combined the doggedness of the white truffle hunter and the deftness of the master cook to prepare this highly original intercultural and interdisciplinary reflection on foreign languages and Foreign Language Education. -- Jean-Marc Dewaele, Birkbeck, University of London Paola Giorgis has created a written work of art bringing together contemporary ways of knowing within foreignness, interculturality, and linguistic diversity. Moving seamlessly between classroom, philosophy, and scholarship, Giorgis has given us an emancipatory praxis which understands power, communication, and context. -- Shirley R. Steinberg, The University of Calgary
