Language and Development in Africa: Perceptions, Ideologies and Challenges
Wolff, H. Ekkehard (Universitat Leipzig)
Taking an 'applied African sociolinguistics' approach, this book discusses the resourcefulness of language, in view of the ongoing transformation of African societies. Wolff analyses the continuing effects of linguistic imperialism on postcolonial African societies, through imposed hegemonic languages such as Arabic and the ex-colonial languages of Europe.
