SUMMARY:Constructing Spanishness in Africa: Language Shift and Contact in Equatorial Guinea
DESCRIPTION:The Spanish colonization of Equatorial Guinea (1778–1968) profoundly transformed the territory’s political\, cultural\, and linguistic landscape. Central to this process was the imposition of Spanish as the official language. Through indirect colonial strategies –particularly the expulsion of British and American Protestant missionaries and the consolidation of Catholic evangelization–Spanish authorities sought to language shift and secure linguistic hegemony. The goal was not only administrative control\, but also the expansion of Spanish as a lingua franca across diverse ethnolinguistic groups. During colonization\, contact between Spanish and local languages did not result in the formation of a Spanish-based creole (Lipski 1984); it did produce a variation of the Spanish language whose characterization is yet to be agreed. \nThis talk situates the case of Equatorial Guinea within theoretical discussions of language contact and shift (Thomason & Kaufman 1988). From a glottopolitical perspective (Arnoux 2000; Del Valle 2007)\, I analyze the conditions that prevented the creolization of Spanish and trace the linguistic changes from the colonial period to the present. \nSusana Castillo-Rodríguez is an Associate Professor at SUNY Geneseo. She teaches Spanish Socio/Linguistics courses. She is the co-coordinator of Black Studies/Africana Programs and the faculty leader of the study abroad program in Equatorial Guinea. Her research focuses on Missionary\, Colonial\, and Decolonial Linguistics in West Africa. She is the author of more than 20 articles and book chapters related to Spanish children evacuated to the Soviet Union during the Spanish Civil War\, migration and health\, and migration and gender. From 2010 onward\, she focused her work on Afro-Hispanic cultural studies\, missionary linguistics\, and the linguistic colonization of Equatorial Guinea\, especially on issues related to the official status of Spanish\, language policy\, the linguistic landscape\, and the maintenance of vernacular languages. \nHer recent book Lengua\, cultura y glotopolítica en Guinea Ecuatorial: una mirada histórica (Vervuert/Iberoamericana 2025) explores the question of the coloniality of Spanish as a language of power in Equatorial Guinea by examining–through the reconstruction of its political\, linguistic\, and cultural history–the mobilization of the human\, economic\, legislative\, political\, and educational resources that were required to transform the being and knowledge systems of the local population.
