The Routledge Handbook of Race and Equity in Applied Linguistics provides an authoritative overview of research on racial and epistemic inequities in TESOL and applied linguistics. It focuses on intersecting systems of oppression in institutional, pedagogical, curricular, and policy spaces.

Across 27 chapters, contributors critically examine everyday policies and practices, such as hiring bias and discriminatory job ads, which disadvantage multilingual learners and teachers, while amplifying agentive voices seeking change. Organized into four parts and spanning the geographic and epistemic Global South and North, the handbook is both critique and praxis: it offers practical tools for valuing students' full repertoires, challenging native-speaker norms, redesigning curricula and assessment, and linking classroom decisions to program and policy reform. It adopts diverse and groundbreaking lenses-linguistic racism, native-speakerism, commodified hiring, translanguaging, phenomenology, pedagogy of love, Ebunlingualism, decolonial hermeneutics, intersectionality, and critical ethnographies-that counter linguistic, epistemic, racial, and institutional hegemonies.

This timely handbook charts a clear decolonial path for students and scholars in TESOL, Applied Linguistics, and Education, while equipping educators and policymakers with the tools to build more just and inclusive environments.
