Description

This Routledge book examines the rise of English in Rwanda, offering critical insights into the links between language, colonialism, and capitalism with implications for understanding global English. Drawing on political theory, cultural-materialism, and critical sociolinguistics, the author positions language policy as an instrument for social reproduction and exploitation, whilst also exploring it as a site of struggle and contest. The work unravels the complex history of language politics and policy in Rwanda, developing a comprehensive theory of language as statecraft that bridges interdisciplinary perspectives and reveals how linguistic choices shape political power, economic systems, and social hierarchies in post-colonial contexts.
