Language in Contemporary African Cultures and Societies examines
language in contemporary Africa by positioning language at the
center of interrelationships between individuals, society, and
culture. Because of how language permeates every aspect of human
existence within each society, this book has assembled
contributions by researchers and scholars who focus on different
topics within African languages and cultures. By presenting African
languages as resources and subject and subject of the study, this
book discusses Africa's multilingualism, language policy,
preservation, and their uses in development, security, liberation,
and identity formation in the diaspora. Based on empirical research
and analysis of texts, this book takes a closer look at the
continent and the diaspora by situating African languages,
cultures, and literatures at the center, and shows how African
languages are used in the liberation, transfer of knowledge, and
promotion of literacy among Africans globally. It is a book that
seeks to bridge the gap between the continent and the diaspora. All
contributors are experienced scholars of language, literature,
education and linguistics. The chapters provide a major means for
examining the interplay of language, literature, and education.
