English Linguistic Imperialism from Below

Moral Aspiration and Social Mobility

Beschreibung

The book shows how English has been newly constituted as a dominant language in post-market reform India. Political economic transitions experienced as radical social mobility fuelled intense non-elite desire for English schooling. Rather than English schooling leading to social mobility, new experiences of mobility necessitated English schooling.
