Unequal Englishes challenges the widely held assumption that languages and linguistic varieties are equal, and explores the various ways we can understand, examine and transform inequalities of Englishes. Written by engaging and well-known scholars of language, education and politics, the chapters in the volume offer a wide range of perspectives on the complex but interwoven relationships between inequalities and Englishes, with an expansive geopolitical trajectory which includes the Philippines, Cuba, China, Canada, India, Malaysia, the United States, Singapore and South Korea. Their specific social and ideological contexts of analyses are wide-ranging, including textbooks and classrooms; teachers, would-be teachers and students; call centers; linguistic landscapes; stories, narratives and jokes. The volume mobilizes the notion of unequal Englishes as one way to understand the global spread of English today.

"Divided into three volumes and edited by established scholars in the field, Bloomsbury World Englishes provides critical insights into aspects of the global uses and roles of English and their implications. The Paradigms volume analyzes the ways in which we make sense of the English as a global language, its many varieties and how these come into contact and mix with other languages. Its main goal is to move the field forward and beyond existing 'models' that begin to be unfit to describe English(es) in the era of globalization. The Ideologies volume explores the politics and economics of English as well as how the language has an impact on local societies and cultures. The chapters in the volume describe how English is often entangled in societal issues such as inequality, (de-)colonization, racism, oppression, liberation. The Pedagogies volume addresses one of the most important themes in World Englishes: the teaching of English as a world language. The chapters in this volume discuss the teaching and learning of English(es) from a range of perspectives and on the basis of experiences and research from many parts of the world"--

This volume is the first to offer a comprehensive and, at the same time, in-depth examination of the spread of English and English language education across Greater China. It consists of two parts. Part 1 presents rich sociolinguistic data for easy comparisons between mainland China, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao, while Part 2 explores in depth the phenomena inside mainland China to provide contrastive analysis of English language use and education in economically booming areas such as Shanghai and Guangdong and underdeveloped regions like Xinjiang and Yunnan. With the descriptive, comparative and analytical accounts of different territories ranging from nation-states to small villages in remote areas, theories on the spread of English, second/third language acquisition and identity are challenged with new concepts proposed and established.
