- Abstract
The "Handbook of Language Policy and Education in Countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC)" edited by Michael M. Kretzer and Russell H. Kaschula is a comprehensive exploration of language and educational policies in the sixteen African countries that make up the SADC. The handbook covers a range of topics, including language policies, sociolinguistic accounts, and specific language situations. The article discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the handbook, as well as the complexities of language policies in African countries. It emphasizes the importance of inclusive language policies that consider the needs of all people and acknowledges the role of language in various sectors. Despite some editing issues, the article provides valuable insights into the language situations in African countries.
