The centering of whiteness in English Language Teaching (ELT) renders
the industry callous, corrupt and cruel; or, antisocial. Using the
diagnostic criteria for Antisocial Personality Disorder as a
rhetorical device, this book examines major issues with the ideologies
and institutions behind the discipline of ELT and diagnoses the
industry as in dire need of treatment, with the solution being a full
decentering of whiteness. A vision for a more just version of ELT is
offered as an alternative to the harm caused by its present-day
incarnation. With a unique linkage of discourse on whiteness, language
and ability, this book will be necessary reading for students,
academics and administrators involved in ELT around the world.
