Seller's Description:
No Jacket. Athens. 2015. July 2015. Ohio University Press. Advance Uncorrected Proof. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780896802933. 317 pages. paperback. keywords: Africa Language Swahili. DESCRIPTION-A groundbreaking history of one of the few truly international languages. Swahili, or more properly Kiswahili, was once an obscure littoral dialect of an east African bantu language. Today more than one hundred million people use Swahili, making it one of the few truly international languages: Swahili is to eastern and central Africa what English is to the world. How this came about and why, of all African languages, it happened only to Swahili is the story that John M. Mugane sets out to explore. The remarkable adaptability of Swahili has allowed Africans-and others-to tailor the language to their needs, extending its influence far beyond its place of origin. The Story of Swahili calls for a reevaluation of the widespread but fallacious assumption that cultural superiority, military conquest, and economic dominance determine the prosperity of any given language. The Story of Swahili is about where languages come from, where they are now, and where they are headed, using the success of Swahili as a convenient point of entry. As a language that arose from contact between peoples from diverse cultures, Swahili is an excellent conveyor of the history of communities in eastern and central Africa as well as their associations throughout the Indian ocean world. It is also a vibrant, living language that continues to adapt to the changing demands of global trade, technology, and communication. inventory #46080.
