Language and Social Class: A Rosen Contribution
Early appraisals of Harold Rosen's life commented on two related aspects: his socialist allegiances and his concerns for working‐class young people and language within the English curriculum (Burge
Black British, Brown British and British Cultural Studies
Caryl Phillips has queried the absence, in British fiction of the 1950s and 1960s, of black and brown people from the British Commonwealth who had migrated to the UK in highly significant numbers in this period. His lament echoes earlier observations by Paul Gilroy critiquing similar 'strategic silences' in the work of the widely recognized major figures in British Cultural Studies – Richard Hoggart, Raymond Williams and E.P. Thompson. However, p…
An Interview with James Kelman
New Ethnicities and Language Use
The children and grandchildren of South Asian migrants to the UK are living out British identities which go largely unrecognized. This book emphasizes their everyday low-key Britishness, albeit a Brit
Creole Metaphors in Cultural Analysis: On the Limits and Possibilities of (Socio-) Linguistics
It is sometimes suggested that creole language study provides important concepts and metaphors for the analysis of cultural processes within globalization and transnational flow.

The Idealised Native Speaker, Reified Ethnicities, and Classroom Realities
TESOL practice in the schooling sector in England has implicitly assumed that ESL students are linguistic and social outsiders and that there is a neat one-to-one correspondence between ethnicity and language. This perspective has tended to conceptualise L2 learners as a linguistically diverse group (from non-English-speaking backgrounds) but with similar language learning needs. However, demographic and social changes in the past 30 years have r…
Openings, absences and omissions: Aspects of the treatment of 'race', culture and ethnicity in British cultural studies
British cultural studies has, in an innovative and exciting way over the last three or four decades, opened up spaces for the serious analysis of many aspects of culture, including those inextricably related to questions of ‘race’, ethnicity and subordinated groups in urban environments in Britain. However, there have been a number of weaknesses and omissions with regard to Britain's black, Caribbean-descended population. Some of these are possib…
