Press blurb:

African countries and South Africa in particular, being multilingual and
multicultural societies, make for exciting sociolinguistic and applied
language analysis in order to tease out the complex relationship between
language and identity. This book applies sociolinguistic theory, as well as
critical language awareness and translanguaging with its many facets, to
various communicative scenarios, both on the continent and in South Africa,
in an accessible and practical way.

Africa lends itself to such sociolinguistic analysis concerning language,
identity and intercultural communication. This book reflects consciously on
the North–South debate and the need for us to create our own ways of
interpretation emanating from the South and speaking back to the North,
and on issues that pertain to the South, including southern Africa. Aspects
such as language and power, language planning, policy and implementation,
culture, prejudice, social interaction, translanguaging, intercultural
communication, education, gender and autoethnography are covered.

This is a valuable resource for students studying African sociolinguistics,
language and identity, and applied language studies. Anyone interested in
the relationship between language and society on the African
continent would also find the book easily accessible.
