The book's chapters address issues that are important not only in
Southern Africa but also in other parts of the world. Although the
focus and much of the data on language and identity are Southern
African, most of the writers deal with their material in such a way
as to locate it within theoretical debates and/or illuminate it
with insights from related research in other parts of the world.
The collection belongs to the constructivist paradigm and is one of
the few works within this line of research. The issue of language
and identity examines how language can become symbolic of the
individual or group's identity. This aspect of language is explored
from a variety of angles exhibiting different methods of
investigation, and this � smorgasbord of methods provides ample
inspiration for further studies in the field.
