Book Review
Buying Into English: Language and Investment in the New Capitalist World
2010
Overview
According to this narrative, English language learning and use was taboo under communism but almost immediately became a necessity following the revolution; Slovakians embraced both the English language and English lessons as the price of admission to the promises of capitalism. [...] we, like Prendergast, must begin to question the narratives that posit English as outside of the global marketplace and insist that composition, as a language-centered activity and field, is always already bound to it.
