CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SOCIOLOGY OF LANGUAGE brings to students, researchers and practitioners in all of the social and language-related sciences carefully selected book-length publications dealing with sociolinguistic theory, methods, findings and applications.

An Ambazonian Liberation Theology?
The last 6 years have witnessed a period of considerable unrest in Cameroun. In 2016, protests within the minority Anglophone regions, against the obligatory use of French in court rooms and schools, were violently suppressed. This, combined with decades of marginalisation by successive Francophone governments, led to calls for secession – the creation of an independent nation of Ambazonia.This book offers a theological reflection on this escalating crisis, examining whether nationalism might be considered a tool of liberation in this particular African context.
Magic Lantern Empire
Magic Lantern Empire examines German colonialism as a mass cultural and political phenomenon unfolding at the center of a nascent, conflicted German modernity. John Phillip Short draws together strands of propaganda and visual culture, science and fantasy to show how colonialism developed as a contested form of knowledge that both reproduced and blurred class difference in Germany, initiating the masses into a modern market worldview. A nuanced account of how ordinary Germans understood and articulated the idea of empire, this book draws on a diverse range of sources: police files, spy reports, pulp novels, popular science writing, daily newspapers, and both official and private archives.

An African Family Archive
This is a rare and detailed account of what it meant to individual Africans to be turned almost overnight into colonial subjects in the nineteenth-century. The Lawson family of Aneho, a small town on the coast of Togo, possesses a letterbook of 718 documents in English, and this is the first attempt to publish such a source in its entirety. The correspondence dates mainly from the periods 1841-77 (relating to the transition from the Atlantic slave trade to 'legitimate trade', mainly in palm oil) and 1883-85 (a period dominated by the efforts of King G. A. Lawson III to prevent Aneho and its surroundings from becoming part of a French or German colony). The volume also contains documents from the early twentieth-century, including some illuminating pieces of local historiography. The documents are framed by a comprehensive editorial apparatus.
Swedish Ventures in Cameroon, 1883-1923
In the 1880s two Swedes were living on the upper slopes of the Cameroon Mountain. One of them, Knutson, wrote a long memoir of his time in Cameroon (1883-1895). It gives fascinating insights into everyday life in pre-colonial Cameroon.
Von Wölfen und Schafen
Mitten im schönen Schwarzwald, am Kulturdenkmal "Balzer Herrgott", entdeckt Kommissar Kirsch eine Leiche. Es ist eine junge Schauspielerin, die dort ermordet wurde. Somit ist Kirsch bei seinen Ermittlungen auch im Schauspielermilieu anzutreffen. Jan Schwarz kommt ihm zu Hilfe, der als Reporter auch einem Bilderfälscherring auf den Fersen ist. Und so bleiben auch weitere Morde nicht aus. Beim Theaterstück "Kabale und Liebe" von Friedrich Schiller treten so auch einige Irritationen, Intrigen, Liebe, Lust und Leidenschaft bei den Schauspielern zutage. Auch Kirsch muss öfters mit seinen Gefühlen kämpfen, denn alte Bekannte aus den früheren Kirsch-Krimis legen so manche falsche Fährten, wie auch die Flohmarktlady. Spannung und Unterhaltung kommen beim fünften Kirsch-Krimi nicht zu kurz, dafür sorgen schon alle Protagonisten, die Kirsch natürlich kräftig bei seinen Ermittlungen, mal mehr oder weniger, unterstützen. Der fünfte Krimi macht wieder Lust auf den Schwarzwald und seine Menschen.
