The Rise of English: Global Politics and the Power of Language
Salomone, Rosemary (Kenneth Wang Professor of Law, Kenneth Wang Professor of Law, St. John's University School of Law)
The Rise of English is a masterful account of the spread of English as the dominant lingua franca worldwide, its intimate connections with globalization and neoliberalism, and its effects on linguistic justice, opportunity, and identity. Deeply researched and wide-ranging in scope, this book shows how English has privileged some and disadvantaged others, but ultimately offers the promise of transcending cultural and linguistic borders in amultilingual world.
