Exile Island and Global Conversation: Ilha do Desterro Bridges Languages and Cultures

This is a concise overview of the publication history of Ilha do Desterro, which shows some changes in format, but a consistent and ever-widening interest in language broadly defined, from linguistics to literature to film, as it manifests itself in different languages, places, and times. The journal publishes in English and Portuguese, but this overview, aware of the impossibility of covering the entire array of essays that appeared in its extended history, limits itself to notes on articles dealing with Anglophone expression by itself and in comparison to its counterparts in the Lusophone world.
