English Linguistic Imperialism from Below: Moral Aspiration and Social Mobility - Critical Language and Literacy Studies

Political economic transitions experienced as radical social mobility fuelled intense non-elite desire for English schooling. Rather than English schooling leading to social mobility, new experiences of mobility necessitated English schooling.
