The Politics of English by Ann Hewings

The Politics of English: Conflict, Competition, Co-existence explores policies and practices that affect the use and position of English. The book discusses the ways in which peoples language choices relate to the history, politics, and economies of their local context.

'.. this book would be an excellent course book for undergraduate or even perhaps postgraduate students interested in English language studies, cultural studies, and language politics... This is facilitated by the narrative tone, adopted by many of the authors, that speaks directly to the reader (as a teacher would speak to a students in the classroom), and the interesting combination of formats within each chapter. Postgraduate students might find the academic concepts presented in the book lacking in depth, but nonetheless, the wide range of references and key-terms identified are sufficient enough to direct postgraduate readers to more substantial materials on the broad topics under the rubric of Worlds of English.'- LINGUISTList

"Overall, this book would be an excellent course book for undergraduate or even perhaps postgraduate students interested in English language studies, cultural studies, and language politics." - Damian J. Rivers, LINGUIST list
