This book is an innovative sociolinguistic study of New Australia,
an Australian immigrant community in Paraguay in 1893, whose
descendants today speak Guarani. Providing fresh data on a
previously under-researched community who are an extremely rare
case of language shifting from English heritage language to a local
indigenous language, the case study is situated within the wider
context of the colonial and post-colonial spread of English in
Latin America over the past century. Drawing on insights from
linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, Latin American studies
and history, the author presents the history of the colony before
closely analysing the interplay of language and identity in this
uniquely diasporic setting. This book fills a longstanding gap in
the World Englishes and heritage languages literature, and it will
be of interest to scholars of colonial and postcolonial languages,
and minority language more generally.
