Showing how youth from one of the poorest and most violent
neighborhoods in Cape Town, South Africa, learn differently in
three educational contexts- in classrooms, in a community hip hop
crew, on a youth radio show-this book illuminates how South African
schools, like schools elsewhere, subtly reproduce inequalities by
sorting students into social hierarchies linked to assessments of
their use of language. Highlighting the voices and perspectives of
young South Africans, this case study of youth in the global South
explores how language is linked to cultural mixing which occurred
during colonialism and slavery and continues through patterns of
global mobility. Dialogue in Places of Learning: Youth Amplified in
South Africa demonstrates how language and learning are bound to
space and place.
