Peer reviewedDavies, Alan – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 1996
Reviews Robert Phillipson's "Linguistic Imperialism," a book about the imposition of English on former colonies of Great Britain. Notes that the book taps into the guilt felt by the rich North about the poor South and that the role of language in an imperial enterprise is important. (22 references) (Author/CK)
