商品簡介
Fearing the extinguishing of many African languages, Mazrui (Africana studies, Ohio State U.) declares, "Globalization is making the English language in Africa more and more triumphant in demographic as well as functional terms." He describes the institutional forces that have led to English ascendancy on the continent and describes its effects on media and education, suggesting it leads to a form of intellectual dependency. He then discusses the possibility that pan-Africanism can help serve as a bulwark against the disappearance of African language and the triumph of English. Distributed in the US by UTP Distribution.
