    Thetha Sizwe is a text that invites readers to rethink and reimagine


    the play of power, firmly rooted in the triad of African languages,
    genders and sexualities. ‘Thetha Sizwe’, loosely interpreted
    as ‘let your voice be heard’, opens up spaces for fresh and

    Thetha Sizwe:
    active debate and discussion that inform the complexities and
    contestations of language. As a linguistic injunction, ‘thetha
    sizwe’ is not purely a communicative plea but directs the reader
    Contemporary South African (and listener) to the politics of voice, silence, and indeed,

    Debates on African Languages the capacity to hear and listen. The volume explores and
    problematises contemporary and current debates that shape
    and the Politics of Gender African languages and literature by investigating assumptions
    and Sexualities and received notions, with deliberate attention to breaking out
    of dominant models that pose limits on further debate. Gender
    and sexuality (as central lenses) inform a rich tapestry of ideas
    while recognising that both are contested and complicated
    terms, encompassing facets of identities and practices that
    overlap and intersect in complex and varied ways. Socially
    constructed, they are neither identical nor entirely separable
    Editors:
    but are bound up and aligned with sociocultural and historical

    aspects that are shaping, evolving and changing.
    Gabi Mkhize
    The rich assembly of essays provide provocative and
    Evangeline B. Zungu
    nuanced engagements with questions of morphology, syntax,
    Siseko H. Kumalo and the meanings of prescribed texts for secondary schools.
    Vasu Reddy All arguments unequivocally coalesce around the politics of
    African languages in the context of feminist and gendered
    epistemologies and decolonial humanities. Arising out of this
    engagement is a volume that is deeply dedicated to theory
    building from the South to texture and shape while spotlighting
    local (and some continental languages) as crucial to global shifts
    in decolonial struggles that aim to re-imagine new worlds.
