He also unveils the psychological and socio-economic effects of whitecentricism and linguoracism on historically and linguistically marginalized groups.

In this book, the author draws on postcolonial and socio-cultural theories and resistant narratives to build a strong argument to counter such hegemony. He a rgues that whitecentricism and linguoracism are two dominant ideologies that structurally privilege Whites over non-Whites and monolinguals of English over bilingual and multilingual speakers.
