The articulation and construction of these distinctions, the very language of difference, is the subject of \u003ci\u003eAn Other Tongue\u003c\/i\u003e. This collection of essays by a group of distinguished scholars, including Norma AlarcÓn, Gayatri Spivak, Tzvetan Todorov, and Gerald Vizenor, explores the interconnections between language and identity.\u003cbr\u003eThe Chicanos, the U.S.\/Mexico borderland polyglots whose sense of history, nationality, and race is as mixed as their language, are the book's prime example. But the authors recognize that border zones, like diasporas and post-colonial relations, occur globally, and their discussion of hybrid or \u003ci\u003emestizo\u003c\/i\u003e identities ranges from the United States to the Caribbean to South Asia to Ireland. Drawing on personal experience, readings of poetry and fiction, and cultural theory, the authors detail the politics of being human through the mediation of language. What does \"shadow\" mean to the Native American Indian, or diaspora to the East Indian immigrant? How does British colonialism yet affect Irish and Indian nationalist literary production? Why is the split between Eastern and Western European language use necessarily schizophrenic? So much of our sense of difference today is constructed as we speak, and \u003ci\u003eAn Other Tongue\u003c\/i\u003e speaks with eloquence to this phenomenon and will be of great interest to those concerned with the discourse of post-colonial studies, critical theory, and the remapping of world literature.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e.
