Description
In this ethnography of bilingual science learning, the author connects microanalyses of classroom discourse to broader themes of de/coloniality in education. The author examines the linguistic landscape of the school and the attitudes of staff and students which produce both coloniality and cracks in the edifice of coloniality.
