Abstract:

This book explores how multilingualism involving English is ordered in
post-colonial, globalizing societies. By placing multilingual practices at
the theoretical center, the author investigates a range of sociolinguistic
domains to demonstrate how individuals use English as a local resource
alongside other languages in East Africa to produce an array of local and
global identifications.
