Product Description
Review
'A fresh and original slant on English in relation to Colonialism.' - Dr P Childs, Cheltenham and Gloucester College
'This book gives a clear and well-documented analysis of discourses of colonialism, especially British colonialism. Pennycook's important and compelling argument is that these discourses are not merely a part of our past which we can safely look back to, and not merely discourses we were implicated in elsewhere, but continue to profoundly shape the culture of the colonizing power - our culture. His focus is on the presence of these discourses within contemporary English Language Teaching. This is an important contribution to the literature which has recently emerged on the politics of ELT. - Norman Fairclough, Lancaster University
'Essential reading for anyone contributing to English teaching or education worldwide. A richly evocative challenge to the comforting belief that colonial attitudes to other cultures and languages are a thing of the past. A major contribution to the analysis of the history of world English and of attitudes to English in the contemporary world.' - Robert Phillipson, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark
