Book Description
Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Has a Penguin Books Australia stamp on inside.
Recounting the personal experiences of twelve bilingual Australians, this immensely moving collection of stories shows how immersion in two overlapping cultures affects one's perspectives on the world and relationships with other people.
Including contributions from Kim Scott and Eva Sallis, these stories are childhood recollections, migrant experiences, journeys of self-discovery, and accounts of feeling culturally torn or undefined, demonstrating the intrinsic links between language, culture, and identity. (back cover)
