Abstract:

This volume brings together contributions that explore the increasingly
important roles that English plays in Asia, including its contribution to
economic growth, national imaginaries and creative writing. These are issues
that are political in a broad sense, but the diversity of Asian contexts also
means that the social, political and cultural ramifications of the spread of
English into Asia will have to be understood in relation to the challenges
facing specific societies. The chapters in the book collectively illustrate
this diversity by focusing on countries from South Asia, Southeast Asia and
the Asia Pacific. Each country has two contributions devoted to it: one paper
provides an overview of the country’s language policy and its positioning of
English, and another provides a critical discussion of creative expressions
involving the use of English. Taken together, the papers in the volume detail
the most recent developments concerning the politics of English in Asia.
