Domination and Resistance in Africa: the Linguistic issue

Abstract

The present work claims that the official use of European languages in African countries, English in particular, is associated with a project of neocolonial domination and reinforces processes of political and social exclusion as well as specific forms of resistance that attempt to rescue, promote, and protect African indigenous languages.
