ABSTRACT

This chapter explores the key arguments surrounding linguistic hegemony as a source of inequality, injustice, and discrimination in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, with an emphasis on the relation between Standard English and Creole language varieties in the Anglophone countries of the Caribbean. The chapter sheds light on an alternative way of STEM teaching and learning, one which is imbedded in Black resistance that challenges the hegemony of Standard English in classroom discourse and printed materials.
