Reflections on the 'Anglo-Saxon' debatehttp://turbulentpriests.group.shef.ac.uk/reflections-on-the-anglo-saxon-debate/ …
Except the modern history of the word is very much caught up in British imperialism and white supremacy in England. This has been demonstrated. It isn’t marginal.

Actually, what is entirely missing from this debate is that in continental Europe the term is often used to refer to modern-day inhabitants and behaviours of the so-called Anglosphere, and often in a disparaging way (see German: 'angelsächsische Wirtschaftszone' or similar).

This is obv related to British imperialism, but in very complicated ways. It will also be hard to dismantle (if anyone interested in this debate is actually interested in what is going on in non-English speaking countries with regard to the term). But it is also 'modern history'.
