This research explored qualitatively and quantitatively the manner in which items and features of different cultures are highlighted, hidden, revered, or devalued in the high school English textbooks created and used in Taiwan. At the same time, quantitative findings of learner's thoughts on the intersection of culture and textbook contexts were also supplied to provide an interlaced argument for the need to reexamine what had been taken for granted or what had been neglected in the creation and selection of instructional materials.For the textbook analyses, 29 English textbooks of five complete series published by local textbook companies were collected and used as research corpora. The qualitative focus was to bring to the spotlight the many fine details situated between the lines and encrypted within the imagery. For the questionnaire analyses, both non-English majors and English majors at a university in Taiwan were recruited for a questionnaire that addressed learners' beliefs and experiences as related to their background and also to English education. As for the quantitative focus, it was to identify what textual and imagery items of various cultures were included in the textbooks. The culture aspect frequencies of the above corpora were computed and Dependent t-test, ANOVA, and the Chi-square test were conducted to test the proposed hypotheses. Results for the textbook analyses revealed a staggering imbalance between what and how items of the Western and of the Eastern were included in textbooks, with the Eastern suffering the deprivation of recognition and influence. Correspondingly, the questionnaire results also demonstrated a preference for all things Western, which was further complicated by the uncertainty exhibited in identity. Theoretical and pedagogical implications for Taiwan and international contexts were identified and elaborated in detail.Keywords: culture, cultural capital, corpus analysis, corpus linguistics, critical literacy, identity, linguistic imperialism, multimodality, semiotics, symbolic annihilation, textbooks, White supremacy.
