商品描述

This open access book explores the link between African languages, decolonisation and transformation. It has its origins in a survey of students and instructors at Higher Education Institutions both inside and outside Africa, and takes as a starting point the 2015 student-led #RhodesMust Fall movement which spread across universities in South Africa. Many of the questions being asked by #RhodesMustFall found parallels in ongoing discussions across in Europe and North America. This book presents findings from the survey, set against the broader backdrop of calls for decolonisation and transformation, drawing specifically on linguistics teaching, scholarship and research. The findings provide new insights into how African languages and linguistics are framed and engaged with, amidst decolonial struggles in Higher Education. This book will be relevant to readers with an interest in African languages, social justice, higher education, and post- and neo-colonialism.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本開放存取的書籍探討了非洲語言、去殖民化與轉型之間的聯繫。它的起源來自於對非洲內外高等教育機構的學生和教師進行的調查，並以2015年由學生主導的#RhodesMustFall運動為起點，該運動在南非的各大學校中蔓延。#RhodesMustFall所提出的許多問題在歐洲和北美的持續討論中找到了相似之處。本書呈現了調查的結果，並置於去殖民化和轉型的更廣泛背景下，特別針對語言學的教學、學術和研究進行探討。這些發現提供了新的見解，揭示了在高等教育的去殖民鬥爭中，非洲語言和語言學是如何被框架和參與的。本書將對對非洲語言、社會正義、高等教育以及後殖民和新殖民主義感興趣的讀者具有相關性。
