Summary: | The Languages of Urban Africa consists of a series of case studies that address four main themes.€ The first is the history of African urban languages. The second set focus on theoretical issues in the study of African urban languages, exploring the outcomes of intense multilingualism and also the ways in which urban dwellers form their speech communities.€ The volume then moves on to explore the relationship between language and identity in the urban setting.€ The final two case studies in the volume address the evolution of urban languages in Africa. This rich set of chapters.
