Description

This Palgrave Macmillan book presents a compelling argument for the preservation and revitalisation of indigenous African languages, which face systemic marginalisation through governmental policies and social attitudes that favour former colonial languages. The authors draw on case studies from across the African continent to demonstrate how language loss represents a broader erosion of cultural identity, historical knowledge, and community heritage. By examining the relationship between language, identity, and power, the book addresses the multifaceted challenges threatening linguistic diversity in Africa and explores pathways toward meaningful resuscitation. Essential reading for students, researchers, and practitioners in anthropology, ethnography, sociology, and development studies, this work reframes language preservation as an act of cultural and political resistance against the legacy of colonialism and ongoing cultural suppression.
