I have been learning so much from the Global Virtual Forum that I eagerly anticipated reading this book. It did not disappoint. From its moving tribute to Atila Calvente to its polyglossic treatment of knowledge and the question of who has the warrant to legitimize it, this book is both informative and inspirational, summoning us all to join in decolonizing linguistics.

This second volume from the Global Virtual Forum constitutes wading-the-languaging of decolonizing linguistics. Shaking off academia’s naturalized publishing regimes, it aligns with new creative waves-of-thinking that offer cascading waterfalls and deep currents that do the important work of disturbing mythical promises of universalistic truths. Scholars of all shades and denominations need to immerse themselves in these waterways.

In this thought-provoking and inspirational book, readers will find themselves invited to engage in dialogues about the various aspects of decolonial challenges, which reflect the different iterations of commitment to decolonization among the contributing authors. It is a treat if you are open to rethinking what language is and envisioning an alternative, inclusive intellectual trajectory of decolonial linguistics.
