This book presents a qualitative study of language learners in the Global South who overcame insurmountable odds to acquire the English language. Drawing on rich data from successful non-elite, or Subaltern, learners, it explores the intersection of leadership development and English acquisition, documenting their identity reconstruction and metamorphosis.
The authors provide a detailed overview of the position of English in the modern world as well as the unique historical relationship between the language and South Asia. They then examine the determination of marginalized individuals to acquire English and introduce the term Liberative Motivation to define their desire to break out of restrictive class/caste-based silos. Filling a crucial gap in the narrative of English in South Asia, they explore the influence that English acquisition has on Subaltern identity, leadership, and self-esteem. The participants’ stories are deeply moving, demonstrating that for the Subaltern, dignity, respect, inclusion, and an educated identity are near impossibilities without knowing English. The authors propose the ‘Subaltern Self-Determination and English Acquisition Framework’ to encapsulate the interplay of factors in the Subaltern’s journey toward English, and they argue that the denial of English education borders on the denial of a basic human right in our present reality.
A unique account of the learning experiences of Subaltern populations, this book is an essential read for scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students with interests in Subaltern studies, English language acquisition, identity, and leadership, and human rights.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
