Abstract:

Through micro-analysis of language use, this book chronicles young women's
pathways to becoming a Tanzanian beauty queen, offering an original
perspective on the intersection of language with globalization, nationalism,
and inequality in urban East Africa. This compelling linguistic ethnography
considers the real-life effects, both on- and off-stage, of language policy,
education, and gender dynamics for the women competing in the pageants. While
highlighting many contestants' struggles for escape from poverty and
patriarchy, the book also emphasizes their creative strategies – linguistic
and otherwise – for bettering their lives and shows how people living in a
global economic periphery take part in, and sometimes feel left out of, the
wider world.
