| Summary |
"This collected volume focuses on gender dynamics and gendered usage in African youth languages and youth language practices against the backdrop of urbanity or rurality. With representations from different parts of Africa, the volume examines sundry youth usage in different contexts and domains. While avoiding strict binarizations and potentially flawed dichotomies, contributing scholars observe some of the motivations for different and possibly dichotomous gender performatives, and how these manifest in a variety of language forms and through predominated categories of use." -- back cover |
