This is a book about European engagements with linguistic diversity in colonial projects around the world. It focuses on the ways colonial agents made alien ways of speaking into objects of knowledge, so that their speakers could be made subjects of colonial power. In this way it presents a language-centered survey of the colonial world from the 16th to the 20th century, showing how the work of linguistics changed in and with the projects of power it served.
