"English and Ethnicity" offers a scholarly but accessible
exploration of the complex interaction between the English language
and the (de) construction of ethnicity. Centered in applied (socio)
linguistics, the volume's diverse essays demonstrate that the
constructs of both "English" and "ethnicity" are contested sites of
identity formation in the English- speaking world. They illustrate
that while for some English use indexes ethnicity, for others its
usage involves equally significant processes of de-ethnicization.
English and Ethnicity enriches our understanding of the
contemporary dialogue on heritage languages, language policy, and
language maintenance.
