The chapters stitch together current voices and identities emerging within both ex-colonized and ex-colonizer communities as each copes with the social, lingual, cultural, and religious mixes triggered by colonialism. These mixes, reflected in the five thematic parts of the book - 'postcolonial identities', 'nationhood discourses', 'translating the postcolonial', 'living the postcolonial', and 'colonizing the colonizer' - call for deeper investigations of postcolonial communities using emic approaches. 410 0$aContributions to the sociology of language ;$v100. 606 $aSociolinguistics 606 $aPostcolonialism 606 $aMultilingual persons$xSocial conditions 606 $aAnthropological linguistics 610 $aAfrican Studies. 610 $aLanguage Contact. 610 $aMultilingualism. 610 $aPostcolonial Linguistics. 610 $aSocial Anthropology. 610 $aSociolinguistics. 615 0$aSociolinguistics. 615 0$aPostcolonialism. 615 0$aMultilingual persons$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aAnthropological linguistics. 676 $a306.44 686 $aEC 1878$2rvk 701 $aAnchimbe$b Eric A$0869038 701 $aMforteh$b Stephen A$01559962 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788425003321 996 $aPostcolonial linguistic voices$93825567 997 $aUNINA
