Subject:  Socioling: Ideology, Politics and Language Policies by Ricento (ed.)

This volume critically examines the effects of the spread of English
from colonialism to the 'New World Order'. The research explores the
complex and often contradictory roles English has played in national
development.  Historical analyses and case studies by leading
researchers in language policy studies reveal that deterministic
relationships between imperial languages, such as English, and
societal hierarchies are untenable, and that support of vernacular
languages in education and public life can serve diverse ideologies
and political agendas. Areas and countries investigated include
Europe, North America, Australia, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia,
Singapore, South Africa, and Sri Lanka. The role of theory in language
policy scholarship and practice is critically evaluated. A variety of
research methodologies is used, ranging from macro-sociopolitical and
structural analyses to postmodern approaches. The work collectively
represents a new direction in language policy studies.
