Englishes Worldwide - A Journey of Transformation and Unity

Pasquale De Marco

Summary

Embark on a captivating journey through the world of Englishes, exploring their diverse origins, evolving contexts, and profound impact on cultures and societies worldwide. "Englishes Worldwide: A Journey of Transformation and Unity" delves into the fascinating tapestry of Englishes spoken across the globe, shedding light on the historical, sociopolitical, and linguistic forces that have shaped their unique characteristics.

From its roots in Anglo-Saxon England, English has embarked on an extraordinary odyssey, spreading to far-flung corners of the earth through colonization, trade, and migration. This book traces the intricate paths of English as it transforms into a multitude of Englishes, each reflecting the unique contexts and identities of the communities that embrace it.

We delve into the sociopolitical contexts that have shaped the Englishes of today, examining the complex relationship between language, power, and identity. We explore how English has been used as a tool of empire and domination, as well as a symbol of national pride and liberation. We investigate the impact of English on social class, gender, and education, revealing the ways in which language can both empower and marginalize.

Our journey takes us to specific regions of the world, where we discover the vibrant Englishes that have emerged in Asia, Africa, the Americas, Europe, and Oceania. We uncover their distinctive features, innovations, and challenges, highlighting the ways in which these Englishes reflect and shape the cultures and societies they inhabit.

In the digital age, English has taken on a new significance as the language of the internet, social media, and global communication. We explore the profound impact of English on online communication and culture, examining how it shapes and is shaped by the vast and ever-evolving digital landscape. We consider the benefits and challenges of a global lingua franca, and reflect on the future of English in an increasingly interconnected world.

Ultimately, this book invites us to ponder the profound implications of Englishes as both a unifying force and a source of division. We examine the ways in which English can facilitate communication, cooperation, and understanding across borders, while also acknowledging the potential for linguistic inequality and marginalization. As we navigate the complexities of a multilingual world, we seek to find a path forward that promotes linguistic diversity, inclusion, and mutual respect.

With its comprehensive analysis, insightful perspectives, and engaging writing style, "Englishes Worldwide: A Journey of Transformation and Unity" is an essential resource for anyone interested in the evolution, diversity, and impact of English in our globalized world.

Bearing Witness While Black -...

Allissa V. Richardson

Bearing Witness While Black tells the story of this century's most powerful Black social movement through the eyes of fifteen activists who documented it. At the height of the Black Lives Matter uprisings, African Americans filmed and tweeted evidence of fatal police encounters in dozens of US cities—using little more than the device in their pockets. Their urgent dispatches from the frontlines spurred a global debate on excessive police force, which claimed the lives of African American men, women, and children at disproportionate rates. 
 
 
 
This groundbreaking book reveals how the perfect storm of smartphones, social media, and social justice empowered Black activists to create their own news outlets, which continued a centuries-long, African American tradition of using the news to challenge racism. Bearing Witness While Black is the first book of its kind to identify three overlapping eras of domestic terror against African American people—slavery, lynching, and police brutality—and explain how storytellers during each period documented its atrocities through journalism. What results is a stunning genealogy—of how the slave narratives of the 1700s inspired the Abolitionist movement; how the black newspapers of the 1800s galvanized the anti-lynching and Civil Rights movements; and how the smartphones of today have powered the anti-police brutality movement.

What’s the Matter with Delaware?...

Hal Weitzman

The legal home to over a million companies, Delaware has more registered businesses than residents. Why do virtually all of the biggest corporations in the United States register there? This book reveals how a systematic enterprise lies behind the business-friendly corporate veneer, one that has kept the state afloat financially by diverting public funds away from some of the poorest people in the United States and supporting dictators and criminals across the world. 
 
 
 
Hal Weitzman shows how the de facto capital of corporate America has provided safe haven to money launderers, kleptocratic foreign rulers, and human traffickers, and facilitated tax dodging and money laundering by multinational companies and international gangsters. Revenues from Delaware's business-formation industry, known as the Franchise, account for two-fifths of the state's budget and have helped to keep the tax burden on its residents among the lowest in the United States. Delaware derives enormous political clout from the Franchise, effectively writing the corporate code for the entire country. 
 
 
 
What's the Matter with Delaware? shows how, in Joe Biden's home state, the corporate laws get written behind closed doors, enabling the rich and powerful to do business in the shadows.
