Description: English As a Local Language : Post-colonial Identities and Multilingual Practices, Paperback by Higgins, Christina (EDT), ISBN 1847691803, ISBN-13 9781847691804, Brand New, Free shipping in the US In a series of ethnographic studies of multilingual practices in East Africa, Higgins (second language studies, U. of Hawai'i) focuses on local contexts of English, highlighting hybrid language practices and thereby challenging understandings of English as a distinct code and problematizing the association of English with the expression of western and/or global cultural references. She also challenges the binary tendencies that characterize much sociolinguistic research on the sociopolitics of English as a global language, aiming to show how linguistic and cultural imperialism can be analyzed alongside appropriations and localization within a Bakhtinian framework of multivocality.
