Born In A Second Language

En savoir plus sur le livre

"Born in a Second Language investigates how translation shapes and alters both language and identity as speakers travel through space and time. In this book, languages are a means of conjuring an existence, of full expression and of defining who one becomes. Home exists on a spectrum: Botswana, Zambia, Ghana, ones body, music, mother, mother tongue etc. Akosua Zimba Afiriyie-Hwedies book is an exploration of African and female identity, navigating what it means to be in-between identities, languages and homes and how those in-between spaces brush up against each other, and are in themselves, a home too." -- Publisher's description
