Bringing together scholarship on issues relating to language,
culture, and identity, with a special focus on Asian countries,
this volume makes an important contribution in terms of analyzing
and demonstrating how language is closely linked with crucial
social, political, and economic forces, particularly the tensions
between the demands of globalization and local identity. A
particular feature is the inclusion of countries that have been
under-represented in the research literature, such as Nepal,
Bangladesh, Brunei Darussalam, Pakistan, Cambodia, Vietnam, and
Korea. The book is organized in three sections: Globalization and
its Impact on Language Policies, Culture, and Identity Language
Policy and the Social (Re)construction of National Cultural
Identity Language Policy and Language Politics: The Role of
English. Unique in its attention to how the domination of English
is being addressed in relation to cultural values and identity by
non-English speaking countries in a range of sociopolitical
contexts, this volume will help readers to understand the impact of
globalization on non-English speaking countries, particularly
developing countries, which differ significantly from contexts in
the West in their cultural orientations and the way identities are
being constructed. Language Policy, Culture, and Identity in Asian
Contexts will interest scholars and research students in the areas
of language policy, education, sociolinguistics, applied
linguistics, and critical linguistics. It can be adopted in
graduate and advanced undergraduate courses on language policy,
language in society, and language education.
