This innovative collection offers a pan-Southern rejoinder to
hegemonies of Northern sociolinguistics. It showcases voices from
the Global South that substitute alternative and complementary
narrations of the link between language and society for canonical
renditions of the field. Drawing on Southern epistemologies, the
volume critically explores the entangled histories of racial
colonialism, capitalism, and patriarchy in perpetuating prejudice
in and around language as a means of encouraging the
conceptualization of alternative epistemological futures for
sociolinguistics. The book features work by both established and
emerging scholars, and is organized around four parts: The politics
of the constitution of language, and its metalanguage, in the
Global South; Who gets published in sociolinguistics? Language in
the Global South and the social inscription of difference; and
Learning and the quotidian experience of language in the Global
South. This book will be of interest to scholars in
sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, critical race and ethnic
studies, and philosophy of knowledge.
In the wake of #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, #rhodesmustfall and the
Covid-19 pandemic, this groundbreaking book echoes the growing
demand for decolonization of the production and dissemination of
academic knowledge. Reflecting the dynamic and collaborative nature
of online discussion, this conversational book features interviews
with globally-renowned scholars working on language and race and
the interactive discussion that followed and accompanied these
interviews. Participants address issues including decoloniality;
the interface of language, development and higher education; race
and ethnicity in the justice system; lateral thinking and the
intellectual history of linguistics; and race and gender in a
biopolitics of knowledge production. Their discussion crosses
disciplinary boundaries and is a vital step towards fracturing
racialized and gendered epistemic systems and creating a
decolonized academia.

To date, there has been no published textbook which takes into
account changing sociolinguistic dynamics that have influenced
South African society. Multilingualism and Intercultural
Communication breaks new ground in this arena. The scope of this
book ranges from macro-sociolinguistic questions pertaining to
language policies and their implementation (or non-implementation)
to micro-sociolinguistic observations of actual language-use in
verbal interaction, mainly in multilingual contexts of Higher
Education (HE). There is a gradual move for the study of language
and culture to be taught in the context of (professional)
disciplines in which they would be used, for example, Journalism
and African languages, Education and African languages, etc. The
book caters for this growing market. Because of its multilingual
nature, it caters to English and Afrikaans language speakers, as
well as the Sotho and Nguni language groups - the largest languages
in South Africa [and also increasingly used in the context of South
African Higher Education]. It brings together various inter-linked
disciplines such as Sociolinguistics and Applied Language Studies,
Media Studies and Journalism, History and Education, Social and
Natural Sciences, Law, Human Language Technology, Music,
Intercultural Communication and Literary Studies. The unique
cross-cutting disciplinary features of the book will make it a
must-have for twenty-first century South African students and
scholars and those interested in applied language issues.
