It de-naturalises the commonplace assumptions and imaginations about the cultures and identities of African diaspora communities, and probes the relevance and usefulness of identity markers such as country of origin, nationality, ethnicity, ethnic/heritage language and mother tongue. Current cultural frames of identity representation have so far failed to capture the complexities of everyday lived experiences of transnational individuals and groups. Therefore by drawing on fresh concepts and recent empirical evidence, this book invites the reader to revisit and rethink the vocabularies that we use to look at identity categories such as race, culture, language, ethnicity, nationality, and citizenship, and introduces a new language nesting model of diaspora identity. This book will be of great interest to all students of migration, diaspora, African and Australian studies.African literatureAfrican languagesSociolinguisticsApplied linguisticsEthnologyAfricaCultureRaceAfrican LiteratureAfrican LanguagesSociolinguisticsApplied LinguisticsAfrican CultureRace and Ethnicity StudiesAfrican literature.African languages.Sociolinguistics.Applied linguistics.EthnologyCulture.Race.African Literature.African Languages.Sociolinguistics.Applied Linguistics.African Culture.Race and Ethnicity Studies.305.896/094LAN009050SOC007000SOC056000bisacshNdhlovu Fauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1790959BOOK9910956617503321Becoming an African Diaspora in Australia4327806UNINA
