Sommario/riassunto

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.

Sommario/riassunto

El espejismo del mestizaje estudia la tensión irresuelta que genera el pensamiento que se ubica en la línea divisoria entre la modernidad, identificada con el desarrollo europeo, y la colonialidad, término con el que se revelan y denuncian los excesos y las limitaciones de la modernidad. Por ello, El espejismo del mestizaje afirma que no hay modernidad sin colonialidad, siendo esta última no sólo constitutiva de la primera, sino el lugar de enunciación que revela sus miserias y sus limitaciones. Este libro está sostenido por investigaciones que, al ser todavía poco conocidas por la academia angloparlante, constituyen, sin embargo, una novedosa perspectiva para repensar Latinoamérica. Aún más, El espejismo del mestizaje, que cuestiona la universalidad de las ciencias sociales y humanas, interviene decisivamente en la discursividad propia de las ciencias modernas, y, así configura otro espacio de producción de conocimientos que, de acuerdo con Walter Mignolo, es la construcción de un “paradigma otro”, una forma distinta de pensamiento que se atreve a ver el mundo “de otro modo”.
