Description

A History of African Linguistics by Cambridge University Press provides the first global history of African linguistics as an independent academic discipline. This volume brings together a team of leading scholars to examine the field across Africa, America, Asia, Australia, and Europe. The book explores the origins of the discipline, describing its emergence from a colonial science at the turn of the twentieth century within European academic institutions. It traces the journey of the field as it moved away from the colonial project through a process of de-colonialisation. Readers will follow the subsequent spread of African linguistics from imperialist Europe to all inhabited continents, offering a comprehensive look at its development and global expansion.
