Summary:
"In Tongues: On Longing and Belonging Through
Language
writers examine their intimate relationship with
language
in essays that are compelling and captivating. This vital anthology opens a dialogue about
language
diversity and probes the importance of
language
in our identity and the ways in which it shapes us. In this collection of deeply personal essays, twenty-six writers explore their connection with
language
, accents, and vocabularies, and contend with the ways they can be used as both bridge and weapon. Some explore the way power and privilege affect
language
learning, especially the shame and exclusion often felt by non-native English speakers in a white, settler, colonial nation. Some confront the pain of losing a mother tongue or an ancestral
language
along with the loss of community and highlight the empowerment that comes with reclamation. Others celebrate the joys of learning a new
language
and the power of connection. All underscore how
language
can offer transformation and collective healing to various communities.
