Book Description:
|
This book uses a micro-analysis of language in and around Tanzanian beauty pageants to address structural inequalities, gender relations, globalization, as well as educational and language policy. The book paints a picture of how people on the global periphery take part in, and sometimes feel left out of, the wider world.
