"This book provides a thorough introduction to African languages and linguistics, covering typology, structure and sociolinguistics." African Sun Times

Anthropological Linguistics
"The book has a substantial bibliography and extremely useful indexes of authors, language names, and subjects. It should be in any academic library that supports curricula in lingustics, African languages, or broader programs of African studies. It may well be assigned as a textbook, so should certainly be in the regular stacks, but is easy enough to use and covers so much information that it could also serve well in reference collection."
