Publisher's Synopsis

This is the first book-length study of the history of language teaching and learning among South Asian Muslims. It looks at language teaching policies and texts, analysing how they support certain ideologies and, consequently, certain power structures. It argues that, in most cases, people learn language to empower themselves, thereby enabling them to take up powerful jobs.
