Abstract

Linguistic anthropology reveals how language both shapes and is shaped by culture, identity, and power. This book offers a unique and innovative approach with a clear structure, using the Applied Linguistic Anthropology Framework (ALA) as guidance. For this book, the two authors’ positionalities deeply reflect who they are and how their personal backgrounds influence their perspectives on language and social justice. The diversity of their backgrounds contributes significantly and uniquely to their research views and values, promoting an ideology rooted in social justice. This is an excellent textbook for curriculum design, yet it goes beyond a typical textbook. It includes a variety of elements, such as chapter overviews, learning objectives, and guiding questions, providing students and audience with a comprehensive and engaging learning experience.
