This book interrogates and problematises African multilingualism as
it is currently understood in language education and research. It
challenges the enduring colonial matrices of power hidden within
mainstream conceptions of multilingualism that have been propagated
in the Global North and then exported to the Global South under the
aegis of colonial modernity and pretensions of universal epistemic
relevance. The book contributes new points of method, theory and
interpretation that will advance scholarly conversations on
decolonial epistemology by introducing the notion of coloniality of
language - a summary term that describes the ways in which notions
of language and multilingualism in post-colonial societies remain
colonial. The authors begin the process of mapping out what a
socially realistic notion of multilingualism would look like if we
took into account the voices of marginalised and ignored African
communities of practice - both on the African continent and in the
diasporas.
