Reviews
“Each chapter has its own set of references … . This book would appeal to all those interested in LPP in a contemporary federal African state. It provides an in-depth and well-documented case-study and highlights the tensions and contradictions between declared principles and the difficult process of implementation of language policies.” (Alessandro Bausi, Language Problems and Language Planning, Vol. 45 (3), 2021)
