Language and Power

Read the following part of a text written by bell Hooks and write A PARAGRAPH relating it to the classes we had about English Language and Globalization. Think of the concepts of oppression and freedom to write your text, ok?



“[…] I resist the idea of the 'oppressor’s language', certain that this construct has the potential to disempower those of us who are just learning to speak, who are just learning to claim language as a place where we make ourselves subject” (HOOKS, 1994, p. 168).
