This book focuses on language, culture, and national identity in
Africa. Leading specialists examine countries in every part of the
continent - Egypt, Morocco, Sudan, Senegal, Mali, Sierra Leone,
Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Cameroon, Congo, Kenya, Tanzania,
Zanbia, South Africa, and the nations of the Horn, Ethiopia,
Eritrea, Djibouti, and Somalia. Each chapter describes and examines
the country's linguistic and political history and the relation of
its languages to national, ethnic, and cultural identities, and
assesses the relative status of majority and minority languages and
the role of language in ethnic conflict. Of the book's authors,
fifteen are from Africa and seven from Europe and the USA.
Jargon-free, fully referenced, and illustrated with seventeen
maps, this book will be of value to a wide range of readers in
linguistics, politics, history, sociology, and anthropology. It
will interest everyone wishing to understand the dynamic
interactions between language and politics in Africa, in the past
and now.
