GADSDEN PUBLISHERS MOURNS PROFESSOR MUBANGA KASHOKI

A Research Professor of African Languages at the University of Zambia, Professor Kashoki was one of Zambia’s earliest and most eminent academics who contributed significantly in his field of Sociolinguistics and also to the development of the Institute of Economic and Social Research of the University of Zambia and to Copper-belt University (where he was Principal at the time it was attached to UNZA and Vice Chancellor when it became a separate University).

Professor Kashoki was a good friend to Gadsden Publishers. It was he who in 1996, when we were operating as Bookworld Publishers, suggested that we should reprint Pio na Vera, first published by Oxford University Press in 1968. I remember he took me to see its author, Stephen Mpashi, a well-known and humorous writer of Cibemba novels. Mr Mpashi was happy to have his novel reprinted. It has been through four editions and is used in schools for teaching Cibemba.
We worked together again, with Professor Kashoki as general editor, on reprinting chapters from Language in Zambia as separate short books each dealing with the grammar of one language. We began with Icibemba in 1999 and subsequently published Grammars in Cinyanja, Chitonga, Silozi and Kikaonde. Published in this form they are accessible to teachers and students at an affordable price and are all still in print. When on a research fellowship with the Centre for Advanced Studies of African Societies in Cape Town (CASAS) Mubanga completed his study of “Lexical Adoptives” in Icibemba which was published by CASAS in 2009 as Keeping in Step with Modern Times, A Comprehensive Account of Lexical Adoptives in Icibemba. Three years later it was agreed that it should also be published by us (Gadsden Publishers) in Zambia for a Zambian readership.

In addition to his publications on Linguistics Professor Kashoki brought to us three collections of articles and speeches prepared and published over four decades. In 2014 we published What on Earth is a Ruling Party in a Multiparty Democracy: Musings and Ruminations of an armchair critic which has four themes: Culture, Democracy and Governance, Language Policy in Africa and a discussion of Thoreau and the role of civil disobedience in a liberal democracy. In 2018 we published Nation Building in the Context of ‘One Zambia, One Nation’ which again discusses issues of culture and language in relation to national integration. In 2022 came the “From Oral to Literary Tradition: A Collection of Speeches and Presentations which contained a few essays of general concern on health, the environment and the responsibility of individual citizens and a number of chapters on the issue close to Professor Kashoki’s heart, language policy.

Mubanga Kashoki brought his great intelligence to his academic work, but also his humour and common sense to his discussions of issues of nationhood. He will live on through his writing. We celebrate a Zambian academician who also had a strong (in his own words) sense of civic responsibility.
