What is the nature of textbooks produced by a postcolonial society and how do they shape the national citizen? How do they define social roles in society, and influence the way people look at themselves and others? In what way do textbooks reflect the framing visions about societal change? By exploring how language is critical to the development of a postcolonial nation and its shifting responses to global modernity, Schooling the National Imagination reflects on these profoundly important questions. Discussing the national education policy in general and the English language policy in particular, Shalini Advani tracks the inner dilemmas of a postcolonial society like India and the troubled history of its language politics. She looks at state-produced school textbooks, traces how English curriculum both reflects and constructs identity in particular ways, and examines classroom practice in schools. Advani goes on to consider the ways in which ideology shapes pedagogic practice, and how classroom transactions define the meaning of what is taught. Sensitive to theoretical discussions on how power and culture are made visible in textbooks and practice, the book moves between study of policy, textbooks, and classroom ethnography to provide a richly textured account of what language education does.
