Reviews

This volume is a groundbreaking contribution to Indigenous language education, addressing the challenges and possibilities of Quechua instruction and assessment across the Americas. By blending historical perspectives, decolonial approaches, and practical solutions, it provides a vital resource for educators, linguists, and policymakers committed to sustaining Quechua into the future. Serafín M. Coronel-Molina, Professor, Indiana University Bloomington, USA An important volume on Indigenous language pedagogy and revitalization, bringing both seasoned and newer voices to the full array of Quechua teaching, learning, and assessment practices and proficiency in the US and the Andes. A cogent and supremely practical response to UNESCO's 2021 call for action on behalf of Indigenous language users and stakeholders. Nancy H. Hornberger, Professor Emerita, University of Pennsylvania, USA An innovative and stimulating account of Quechua language teaching in its Andean homelands and among Andeans living in the US. Based on first hand research, the authors emphasize the need for culturally sustaining pedagogies, decolonial approaches, non-Westernised grammatical descriptions, and language-appropriate assessment tools, when teaching such an under-represented Indigenous language across a wide social field. Rosaleen Howard, Professor Emerita, Newcastle University, UK
