Summary: "This book describes and theorises "male, in-group, street-aligned, youth language practice" in urban centres in Africa. The research presented here by key scholars is systematic work that provides a fuller picture of these practices in relation to other language and linguistic developments, as these relate to large scale and sustained language contact--" Provided by publisher
