"Local Languages as a Human Right in Education: Comparative Cases from Africa" by Zehlia Babaci-Wilhite examines the intersection of language, education, and human rights across various African contexts. The book delves into the critical role that local languages play in fostering effective educational environments and preserving cultural identities. Through comparative case studies, it highlights the struggles and successes of implementing local language policies in educational systems. By advocating for linguistic rights, Babaci-Wilhite emphasizes the need for inclusive education that respects and leverages local languages, ultimately arguing for their importance in promoting equity and social justice in Africa's diverse societies.
