Description

The purpose of this book is to review Sub Saharan African development difficulties from the lens of applied linguistics and to provide readers with a comprehensive discourse on development from the socio-cultural analysis perspective. The author has taken up the sociocultural theoretical stance as an imperative strategy to spur development in Sub Saharan Africa and argues that language and intercultural communication are spirals of development He equally holds the claim that sustainable development can only be meaningful if its concepts are framed locally .Alongside his arguments, he demonstrates objectively that western concepts of development are at the center of African cultural alienation and how this shift is more of disillusionment. The book establishes the point that a basic problem of African countries south of the Sahara, that has ever relinquished them from the landmark of global development to the dreaded status of ¿unprogressive¿ stagnated nations of the world is not underdevelopment which is a result and not a cause just like the persistent multiphasic world economic/political crisis and the inadequacies of the international organizations network.
