This study analyses texts of different kinds produced by the group to examine the way these deviant English-speakers see themselves, and particularly how this self-image is influenced by the presence of the blacks who constitute a crucial part of their perceptual field. Economically powerful but politically marginal for many years, the English-speaking whites have always been mediators of their community's experience to the world culture of the English language; the study shows how the act of mediation operates in more than one direction, producing a literary tradition that is essentially - and perhaps surprisingly - dissident.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45280536101015,"sku":"9781349225484","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781349225484.webp?v=1769296600","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/white-on-black-in-south-africa-a-study-of-english-language-inscriptions-of-skin-colour-9781349225484","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
