Boldly positioning African languages as key resources in the 21st century, chapters focus on themes such as language revolt by marginalized groups at grassroots level, the experience of American students learning African languages, female empowerment through the use of African languages in music, film and literary works, and immigration issues. The contributions are written by scholars of language, literature, education and linguistics, and the book will be of interest to students and scholars in these and related areas. 606 $aAfrican languages$xSocial aspects$y21st century 606 $aAfrican literature$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLanguage and culture$zAfrica$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aAfrica$xCivilization$y21st century 615 0$aAfrican languages$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAfrican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLanguage and culture$xHistory 676 $a496 676 $a306.44096 702 $aLisanza$b Esther Mukewa$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMuaka$b Leonard L$g(Leonard Lisanza),$f1968-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910370042903321 996 $aAfrican Languages and Literatures in the 21st Century$92536663 997 $aUNINA
