This compelling collection delves into the transformative practices of applied linguistics researchers in Latin America, emphasizing the importance of decolonization in their work. The authors present a range of perspectives that challenge traditional methodologies and highlight the need for culturally relevant approaches that resonate with local contexts.

The book not only calls for a rethinking of linguistic studies but also sheds light on the rich, multifaceted experiences of Latin American scholars as they forge new paths in the field, ultimately enriching the global discourse on applied linguistics.
