Language and Decoloniality in Higher Education brings together a
collection of diverse papers that address, from various angles, the
issue of decoloniality, language and transformation in higher
education. It reflects the authors' cumulative years of experience
as educators in higher education in different southern contexts.
Distilled as case studies, the authors use a range of decolonial
lenses to reflect on questions of knowledge, language and learning,
and to build a reflexive praxis of decoloniality through
multilingualism. Besides a number of decolonial persepectives which
readers will be familiar with, this volume also explores a
conceptual framework, Linguistic Citizenship, developed over the
past two decades by scholars in southern Africa. In this
collection, Linguistic Citizenship is used as a lens to 'think
beyond' the inherited colonial matrices of language which have
shaped this region (and many other southern contexts) for
centuries, and to 're-imagine' multilingualism - and semiotics,
more broadly - as a transformative resource in the broader project
of social justice. Although each chapter has firm roots in the
South African context, these studies have much to offer others in
their 'quest for better worlds'. Of particular interest to global
scholars are the authors' recounts of how they have grappled with
leveraging the country's multilingual resources in the project of
promoting academic access and success in the face of historical
hierarchies of language and social power.
