The study of languages was crucial to the development and maintenance
of colonial power in South Africa. Focusing upon European representations of
the Xhosa and Zulu languages, and offering detailed historically, socially,
and politically contextualized readings of a wide range of linguistic
materials
-
travellers wordlists, grammars, dictionaries, reading books
-
Rachael Cilmour explores the complex relationship between colonialism
and linguistic thought in South Africa in the late-eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries. In particular, she reveals how colonial representations
of languages were contingent upon, and bound up with, the shifting
relationships between speakers of those languages and the colonial
regimes. In doing so, she exposes not only some of the ways in which
colonial linguistics contributed to the making of the colonial order, but
also the complexities and instabilities at the heart of this project to make
sense of South Africa.
