Language, Gender, and Power: Politics of Representation and Hegemony

This groundbreaking volume deconstructs the politics of language and gender in Pakistan’s educational and cultural contexts. Through meticulous analysis of textbooks, media, and everyday discourse, Dr. Siddiqui reveals how hegemonic ideologies are embedded in language practices. He examines how representations of masculinity, femininity, nationalism, and authority reinforce existing hierarchies. Drawing insights from critical linguistics and feminist theory, this book presents a compelling argument for rethinking language policy, curriculum design, and gender equity in schools and society as a whole.
