'[P]erhaps the best analysis of the English-only movement in the US
and the ramifications worldwide of language policies favouring
English ...It displays a dazzling grasp of the many meanings of
language and the politics that underlie language policy and
educational discourse.' Stanley Aronowitz, City University of New
York 'In the present political climate, racism and classism often
hide behind seemingly technical issues about English in the modern
world. The Hegemony of English courageously unmasks these
deceptions and points the way to a more humane and sane way to
discuss language in our global world.' James Paul Gee, University
of Wisconsin, Madison The Hegemony of English succinctly exposes
how the neoliberal ideology of globalization promotes dominating
language policies. In the United States and Europe these policies
lead to linguistic and cultural discrimination while, worldwide,
they aim to stamp out a greater use and participation of national
and subordinate languages in world commerce and in international
organizations such as the European Union. Democracy calls for
broad, multi-ethnic participation, and the authors point us toward
more effective approaches in an increasingly interconnected world.
