The problem of anglophone squint



when participants sample the goods from one another’s stalls and actually make use
of them in their work.

Aalbers has provided a service to British geographers by taking the bit between his
teeth in a British journal. However, there has been a tendency for commentators to
focus on certain aspects of the problem: notably the detrimental effect that excessive
influence on the academic media by America and Britain is having on the rest of the
world. As discussion broadens and deepens, it is to be hoped that increased attention
will be given to the intellectual benefits for anglophones that would stem from the
greater integration of ideas from other language areas into anglophone thinking.
Internationally, anglophones would be likely to earn greater respect for their own
ideas as a consequence.
