Decolonising Multilingualism in Africa
Discover a transformative perspective on language education with Decolonising Multilingualism in Africa by Makalela Ndlovu, published by Multilingual Matters in 2021. This insightful paperback, spanning 208 pages, delves into the complexities of African multilingualism, critically examining its representation in both research and educational practices.
Ndlovu invites readers to challenge the persistent colonial frameworks that shape mainstream understandings of multilingualism, which have been largely influenced by narratives from the Global North and subsequently imposed on the Global South. This book is essential for educators, researchers, and anyone interested in the intersection of language, power, and identity in Africa.
Engage with a fresh perspective that not only interrogates existing paradigms but also seeks to redefine the conversation around multilingualism in an African context.
