  • Section I. the Promise of Reconstruction
    Section I. The Promise of Reconstruction 8 A. Overview of Reconstruction in South Carolina The United States was a deeply transformed nation after the Civil War. The four-year conflict had resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of men and cost millions of dollars in destruction. It left in its wake a ravaged landscape and a weary people. Yet, from such devastation also came hope. Enslaved African Americans throughout the South were emancipated as Union military forces invaded southern territory and defeated Confederate armies. After the war ended in 1865, the Thirteenth Amendment permanently abolished slavery, guaranteeing freedom to roughly four million African Americans who, just four years earlier, could only dream of it. Even though many of the political and economic gains these newly freed men and women achieved would be systematically revoked during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, they succeeded in creating “an autonomous black social and cultural life, which…ranked among the most enduring accomplishments of Reconstruction.” They enjoyed a newfound ability to “pursue their own agenda,” free of white claims to corporal ownership and all the limits those claims had placed upon them. They engaged in activities which unmistakably demonstrated their freedom: forming independent communities and institutions, educating themselves, working towards economic independence, owning land and property, and exercising political rights. Illustrative of African-American perceptions of freedom, their endeavors embodied the hopes and promises of the era. 1 Organizing themselves into structured communities was of the first order for freed men and women throughout the South. The establishment of a stable family life became the basis of these communities, though just bringing together families proved difficult for many African Americans.

  • 17 World Englishes and Their Dialect Roots
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2020 World Englishes and their dialect roots Schreier, Daniel Abstract: This chapter investigates the persistence and development of so-called dialect roots, that is, features of local forms of British English that are transplanted to overseas territories. It discusses dialect input and the survival of features, independent developments within overseas communities, including realignments of features in the dialect inputs, as well as contact phenomena when English speakers interact with those of other dialects and languages. The diagnostic value of these roots is exemplified with selected cases from around the world (Newfoundland English, Liberian English, Caribbean Englishes), which are assessed with reference to the archaic/dynamic character of individual features in new-dialect formation and language-contact scenarios. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/9781108349406.017 Posted at the Zurich Open Repository and Archive, University of Zurich ZORA URL: https://doi.org/10.5167/uzh-198161 Book Section Published Version The following work is licensed under a Publisher License.

These were transported all over the globe by speakers from different regions, social classes, and educational backgrounds, who migrated with distinct trajectories, for various periods of time and in distinct chronolo- gical phases (Hickey, Chapter 2, this volume; Britain, Chapter 7,thisvolume).

  • Attitudes Towards English in Ghana Kari Dako
    Dako & Quarcoo / Legon Journal of the Humanities (2017) 20-30 DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.4314/ljh.v28i1.3 Attitudes towards English in Ghana Kari Dako Associate Professor, Department of English, University of Ghana, Legon, Ghana [email protected]; [email protected] Millicent Akosua Quarcoo Senior Lecturer, Department of English Education, University of Education, Winneba, Ghana [email protected]; [email protected] Submitted: May 16, 2014 /Accepted: September 4, 2014 / Published: May 31, 2017 Abstract The paper considers official and individual attitudes towards bilingualism in English and a Ghanaian language. We ask whether bilingualism in English and Ghanaian languages is a social handicap, without merit, or an important indicator of ethnic identity. Ghana has about 50 non-mutually intelligible languages, yet there are no statistics on who speaks what language(s) where in the country. We consider attitudes to English against the current Ghanaian language policy in education as practised in the school system. Our data reveal that parents believe early exposure to English enhances academic performance; English is therefore becoming the language of the home. Keywords: attitudes, English, ethnicity, Ghanaian languages, language policy Introduction Asanturofie anomaa, wofa no a, woafa mmusuo, wogyae no a, wagyae siadeé. (If you catch the beautiful nightjar, you inflict on yourself a curse, but if you let it go, you have lost something of great value). The attitude of Ghanaians to English is echoed in the paradox of this well-known Akan proverb. English might be a curse but it is at the same time a valuable necessity. Attitudes are learned, and Garret (2010) reminds us that associated with attitudes are ‘habits, values, beliefs, opinions as well as social stereotypes and ideologies’ (p.31).
