Product Description
As the British empire expanded throughout the world, the English language played an important role in power relations between Britain and its colonies. With the end of World War II, more and more countries became gradually decolonised, and colonial power and cultural patterns clashed and combined with indigenous traditions, myths and mores to create postcolonial texts. This volume explores English postcoloniality as a process around the world and examines the complex interplay of language and culture.
