It reflects the authors' cumulative years of experience as educators in higher education in different southern contexts. Distilled as case studies, the authors use a range of decolonial lenses to reflect on questions of knowledge, language and learning, and to build a reflexive praxis of decoloniality through multilingualism. Besides a number of decolonial persepectives which readers will be familiar with, this volume also explores a conceptual framework, Linguistic Citizenship, developed over the past two decades by scholars in southern Africa. In this collection, Linguistic Citizenship is used as a lens to 'think beyond' the inherited colonial matrices of language which have shaped this region (and many other southern contexts) for centuries, and to 're-imagine' multilingualism - and semiotics, more broadly - as a transformative resource in the broader project of social justice. Although each chapter has firm roots in the South African context, these studies have much to offer others in their 'quest for better worlds'. Of particular interest to global scholars are the authors' recounts of how they have grappled with leveraging the country's multilingual resources in the project of promoting academic access and success in the face of historical hierarchies of language and social power"-- Provided by publisher Adult English Zannie Bock and Gift Mheta Editor 178852 Bassey Antia 178853 Felix Banda 178854 Emanuel Bylund 178855 ddc BOOK 401.9 LANG 166 Thoko Moyakene 166 Thoko Moyakene 751294 751293 0 0 ddc 0 0 400 KWAML KWAPL GEN 2023-04-11 0 401.9 LANG 33228031059626 2023-04-11 2023-04-11 BOOK 0 0 ddc 0 0 400 KAMHL KAMHL GEN 2025-02-12 0 401.9 LANG 3322803179256 2025-02-12 2025-02-12 BOOK 0 0 ddc 0 0 400 THANPL THANPL GEN 2025-03-11 635.00 0 401.9 LANG 3322803174690 2025-03-11 2025-03-11 BOOK
