Sociolinguistics Studies

Hip Hop messes up with language, it takes it to a whole nother level, where the poetic is mixed with the political, where the global and the local meet in a space of métissage, and where the familiar is so worked-on that it becomes unfamiliar. Grounded in the multilingual, the ethnographic and the marginalized, Remix Multilingualism shows us the power of (Global) Hip Hop (Language) and why we need to have our ears to the ground and hear it. WORD!

Remix Multilingualism is the book we've been waiting for ever since 1994 when the 'new' South Africa enshrined its eleven official languages policy in the Constitution. Williams' clear, scholarly vision and rigorous, ethnographic labor in the Hip Hop vineyards of Kuilsriver have yielded a master text which demonstrates the rich multilingualism of marginalized voices in South Africa (and by extension, elsewhere in the Global South). It is a major contribution to the fields of Hip Hop studies and Multilingualism and a must-read for scholars and teachers alike.

An exciting and rich multi-sited linguistic ethnography of marginality in the South and its multilingual (re)mediation. Quentin Williams has (re)mixed a tantalizing recipe for understanding how lives and selves may be materialized in and through Linguistic Citizenship.
