Language in Indenture: A Sociolinguistic History of Bhojpuri-Hindi in South Africa - Routledge Library Editions: Sociolinguistics 1st edition
Rajend Mesthrie
Originally published in 1991. The transplantation of thousands of Indian workers to South Africa under indenture had far-reaching consequences for their linguistic traditions. This book traces the history of one of these Indic languages, Bhojpuri, and its roots and subsequent evolution and on to the events contributing to its demise.
