This book addresses important issues to the democratisation and development initiatives of developing countries. In many former colonies, the government remains centralised, and many in the population are unable to fully participate in its functioning. A critical difference between being a subject and a citizen is the ability to partake in governance. Such involvement requires knowledge, literacy, and the availability of literature in local and national languages. This book challenges policy makers and scholars to find creative ways of fostering political empowerment through developing language programmes.Obeng, Samuel Gyasi is the author of 'Political Independence With Linguistic Servitude The Politics About Languages in the Developing World' with ISBN 9781590334423 and ISBN 1590334426.
