{"product_id":"language-race-and-the-global-hubert-devonish-9783030457471","title":"Language, Race and the Global Jamaican","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the racial and socio-linguistic dynamics of Jamaica, a majority black nation where the dominant ideology continues to look to white countries as models, yet which continues to defy the odds. The authors trace the history of how a nation of less than three million people has come to be at the centre of cultural, racial and linguistic influence globally; producing a culture than has transformed the way that the world listens to music, and a dialect that has formed the lingua franca for a generation of young people. The book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of Caribbean linguistics, Africana studies, diaspora studies, sociology of language and sociolinguistics more broadly. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hubert Devonish, Karen Carpenter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030457478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030457471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.38d","brand":"Hubert Devonish","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058701758719,"sku":"9783030457471","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b145d54c-0332-44bb-ad1e-f287c95a3398.jpg?v=1685054061","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/language-race-and-the-global-hubert-devonish-9783030457471","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
