Language and Colonial Power: The Appropriation of Swahili in the Former Belgian Congo, 1880-1938 Paperback - 1991
by Johannes Fabian
From the rear cover
"Any student of what has been called Africanist discourse, or of imperialism will find Language and Colonial Power and invaluable and path-breaking work."--Edward Said, from the Foreword "This elegant volume represents a breakthrough in the social history of languages. Fabian provides us with an exemplary study of the micro dynamics of power showing how the colonial state, missionaries and mining companies remade African culture."--David Latin, University of Chicago "The subject is language policy, but Fabian packs his text full of insights applicable to social structure in general. Readers will relish its intellectual excitement."--Carol Myers Scotton, American Anthropologist
