商品描述
This book explores how multilingualism and multiculturalism act as critical markers of glocalization, identity formation, and cultural preservation in a changing world. As a multi-ethnic and multicultural country marked by extensive linguistic and cultural diversity, the Namibian landscape is a unique context showcasing the benefits of multilingualism and multiculturalism. Through critical, empirical, practical and theoretically engaged debates, this book highlights issues around intercultural and multilingual education, the language question in Africa, cultural practices and their significance and preservation thereof, ways of fostering unity in diversity through languages, and the means to liberate the creative, artistic and cultural voices through self-publication. This book is useful for undergraduate and graduate students and researchers on Namibian and Southern African linguistics, multilingual and multicultural enthusiasts, anthropologists, and African studies scholars.
