Tongues: On Longing and Belonging through Language by Ayelet Tsabari, Leonarda Carranza, Eufemia Fantetti
5.0
*CANADIAN*
An absolutely facinating collection!
This anthology swept me up within the first pages and from there I was deeply moved by each of these 26 personal essays. The writers examine their connections with language in all forms. From learning a new language and new connections through speach to the ways colonialism has impacted language to privilege's role, and losing and regaining their mother tongues and more! This was edited so well. The flow of these essays was was perfect I absolutely loved this book, it gave me so much to think about and be in awe of. This should be required reading!
This is one of thoes books that no matter what I say it wont do it justice, highly recommend reading it for yourself.
