Description

This ethnographic monograph examines how English functions as a lingua franca within South Africa's complex linguistic and racial landscape. Grounded in detailed fieldwork, the book explores identity politics through the lens of language, focusing on isiZulu and Afrikaans speakers in multilingual contexts. Drawing from English as a lingua franca studies, raciolinguistics, and cultural politics, the author challenges conventional assumptions about English's role in constructing identities across different communities. The work adopts a multidisciplinary approach that critically interrogates power dynamics and ideological dimensions embedded in ways of speaking English. Published by Routledge as part of their Linguistic Anthropology series, this study bridges academic conversations between sociolinguistics, anthropology, and critical race theory, offering insights into how language practices shape social identities and hierarchies in contemporary South Africa.

Key Features

This Routledge monograph uses ethnographic methodology to ground its analysis of English as a lingua franca in real South African communities.

The book examines isiZulu and Afrikaans speakers to reveal how multilingual contexts shape identity construction through English language practices.

Drawing from raciolinguistics and English as a lingua franca scholarship, the study connects language use to power structures and ideological frameworks.

Published as part of Routledge Studies in Linguistic Anthropology, this work bridges sociolinguistics, anthropology, and critical race theory.

The monograph challenges conventional assumptions about English by investigating how it functions within South Africa's specific historical and social contexts.
