OUT TODAY: Kate's fantastic book LANGUAGE AS STATECRAFT This is a scarily good first book by a very talented researcher. Consider ordering to your institutional libraries or reviewing a copy!
It's happened 🥁 Language as Statecraft is available now from @RoutledgeLing 🎉 The book offers an original analysis of the politics of language in Rwanda, for a theory of global English that centres class struggle, capitalism, and colonialism. 🧵 routledge.com/Language-as-St…

The anthology form has its limits, but these kinds of books are always a huge editorial undertaking and, at less than 4p a page, offer students and researchers an affordable way in to some of the discipline's most important issues and debates. Congrats to the editors 👏🏻

Thanks to @LeedsTheory for the opportunity to present new work from COLLECTIVE FORM. Was brilliant to think through dance, sex, sexuality, law, language, land and 'unauthorised' music as sites of resistance with speakers and attendees 🙌🏻

In the context of a prevailing individualism in postcolonial studies, the CfP for COLLECTIVE FORM AND NATIONAL LIBERATION asks contributors to think about how collaboration and cooperation have animated struggles for racial justice, national liberation, and decolonisation.
