Book Synopsis The Sociolinguistics of Development in Africa by : Paulin G. Djité
Book excerpt: This book is an analysis of modernisation informed by the place of language in education, health, the economy and governance in the African context. It paints a wide canvas of Africa in its different facets, and shows how language is used as an instrument to deny access to socioeconomic and political emancipation.
