Language, Literature and Culture in Africa - Call for contributions
The book tentatively entitled, Language, Literature and Culture in Africa,
seeks to investigate, in more concrete and harmonized terms than as
represented in the literature, the link between language, literature and
culture in the African context. It attempts to explore how languages in
Africa, including English, engaged in several domains, convey
culture-related values both in real life situations and literary
mediations. Papers, which could be of any length and which must be related
to the African experience, are expected to cover the following or other
related areas:
1. Language, literature and social values
2. Language and ideology
3. Ideological expressions in African literature
4. Language, literature and political culture
5. Linguistic theories and politics
6. Language, literature and violence
7. Literary theories and politics
8. Language, literature and history
9. Language, Literature and Politics (power)
10. Language, literature and development
11. Language, literature and religion

manuscripts is 30 August, 2009. The book is expected to be published by a
