Speak Still

Articulating the Silence of Bilingualism

von Wing Lam Tong

Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Speak Still confronts colonial silencing by asking out loud: why do non-native speakers of English feel estranged from the English language, despite having known it since childhood? Is it possible for us to own this silence? If so, how can we find our eloquence from our experience of speechlessness? How can we bring the foreign language home?
