Recenzii

"In this magisterial survey, Kate Spowage applies her deep intellect to the role of English in the material shaping of Africa and the African nation state. The selection of francophone Rwanda is especially apposite for the illustration it provides of state-sponsored English hegemonic dominance in Africa notwithstanding the continent’s supposed independence from European colonial rule. Language as Statecraft is that rare thing: a book which not only informs and educates, but one which also brings about paradigmatic change in the way such matters are discussed. A major achievement."
John P. O’Regan: Critical linguist; historical materialist; Professor at University College London, UK.
