This book is the second in a series of regional studies on language policy and planning edited by renowned linguists Richard B. Baldauf, Jr. and Robert B. Kaplan. This book is another masterpiece in understanding language planning and policy in African countries, as it selects four countries, Algeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, and Tunisia, and provides in-depth analyses and explanations of the status of language planning and policy in these four countries from the four dimensions of language profiles, language diffusion, language policy and planning, and language preservation and perspectives.

The volume is written by Mohamed Benrabah, Paulin Djité, Efurosibina Adegbija, Mohamed Daoud, who have all worked in the respective countries and have been involved in the planning of language policies and programmes. All of them have worked and lived in the respective countries for many years, and have long been engaged in relevant research in this field, and have a comprehensive and profound understanding of the language planning and policies of these countries.
