This book is a valuable resource for writing educators on college campuses who are committed to promoting linguistic equity and social justice for multilingual students. It provides practical guidance on how to translate recent advances in theories on language, literacy, and race into pedagogical and administrative practices within US higher educational institutions. The book is organized into three thematic sections: translingual and anti-discriminatory pedagogy and practices, professional development and administrative work, and advocacy in the writing center.

Within these sections, the chapters offer practical examples and strategies for countering linguistic racism and promoting language pluralism in and out of classrooms. These examples include teacher training, creating pedagogical spaces for multilingual students to negotiate language standards, and enacting anti-racist and translingual pedagogies across disciplines and in writing centers.

By leveraging the insights and practices outlined in this book, writing educators can play a crucial role in creating inclusive learning environments that support the academic success and well-being of all multilingual students. The book is a must-read for anyone who wants to advance the cause of linguistic equity and social justice in higher education.
