Kiswahili is no doubt the East and Central African region's foremost language of wider communication. It is estimated that it has about 120 million speakers across the globe – majority of who come from East Africa and the Great Lakes region.
Against all odds, Kiswahili has continued to rival established as such English and French – and is touted to edge out other notable languages in Hausa, Igbo, Bambara and Wolof in West Africa, Arabic in North Africa, among others, to become the lingua franca of the continent.
Kiswahili language and its literature, hence, has over time attracted the attention of scholars from within the continent. The book under review is an attempt by scholars of the language from local and international universities to share their thoughts on the strides that have been made by Kiswahili in the 21st century.
