The book’s chapters address issues that are important not only in Southern Africa but also in other parts of the world. Although the focus and much of the data on language and identity are Southern African, most of the writers deal with their material in such a way as to locate it within theoretical debates and/or illuminate it with insights from related research in other parts of the world. The collection belongs to the constructivist paradigm and is one of the few works within this line of research. The issue of language and identity examines how language can become symbolic of the individual or group’s identity. This aspect of language is explored from a variety of angles exhibiting different methods of investigation, and this «smorgasbord» of methods provides ample inspiration for further studies in the field.
