Language and Colonial Power

- The Appropriation of Swahili in the Former Belgian Congo 1880-1938

About Language and Colonial Power

Describes what might be called the workers' culture of Shaba, through analyses of communicative (sociolinguistic) and cognitive (ethnosemantic) aspects of language use. In this study, inquiry will be directed to the past, and it will, for many reasons, have to reach into a past which is rather remote from present-day Shaba Swahili.
