<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>In honor of Professor Braj B. Kachru, this paper highlights the legacy of his final monograph, <jats:italic>World Englishes and culture wars</jats:italic>. Professor Kachru was a towering figure among world Englishes scholars as well as students of language contact. <jats:italic>World Englishes and culture wars</jats:italic> highlights the role of English in the lives of many of its Outer Circle and Expanding Circle users of the language, simultaneously acknowledging the tension from the evolution of English in diverse cultural ecosystems across the world. This book enriches our understanding of world Englishes through its critical engagement with the spread and differential evolution of English around the world, and through the inspirational scholarship which Professor Kachru brings to this work.</jats:p>
