Reviews

An excellent contribution to the debates surrounding World Englishes and Postcolonial Studies. I know of no other book that sets up a conversation between these fields and there is much to be gained by scholars in both areas of study from this very informative analysis. David Huddart covers an impressive range of topics, and his discussion of major contributions in the fields of postcolonial studies, critical linguistics, cultural studies and globalisation studies is intriguing. He has set the stage for many productive discussions and further research.
