Language, Culture and Decolonisation

Fanon has written that colonialism gets under the skin of the colonized by taking control of a people’s history, language, and culture—and denigrating all three. Exploring this reality, the authors of Language, Culture and Decolonisation draw on history, politics, philosophy, and literary studies to put forth a range of arguments about the importance of indigenous languages in the formation and expression of postcolonial identity.
