Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Language and Social Justice provides readers with the knowledge and analytical skills required to explore why and how social inequalities and injustices are enacted through language, and how they may be challenged.
The expert authors introduce readers to theories, concepts, methods and applications which enable them to become ?activist applied linguists? in the field of language and social justice. Each chapter contains up-to-date information, case studies, study questions and activities, suggestions for activism, and recommended readings relating to a range of topics within the field of language and social justice research.
This innovative and accessible textbook is essential reading for students and scholars engaged in language and social justice research across a range of contexts.
This timely and thoughtful volume is a must-read for anyone wishing to engage with language, power and ideology as they play out in human communities. Drawing in their readers with care and insight, the authors demonstrate how linguistic students and scholars can engage with activist practices and disrupt oppressive dynamics.
Eric Louis Russell, University of California-Davis
This textbook offers students an invaluable and unique introduction to scholarship on language and social justice, presenting pertinent case studies on a wide range of issues. Readers are supported, through useful activities, in reflecting upon and engaging critically with discourses which reproduce inequalities, and in becoming activists through their research.
Lucy Jones, University of Nottingham
I believe Language and Social Justice: An Introduction to Linguistic Activism is a call to action and a practical book with ingredients necessary for language educators and activist applied linguists doing work with diverse communities who constantly seek to incorporate a more inclusive and equitable approach in their practice.
Yecid Ortega, Queen?s University Belfast
