Trip of the Tongue: Cross-Country Travels in Search of America's Languages
"Little makes for a perfect tour guide. More than a collection of fascinating linguistic details (though it is that), by the end this book deepens into a full-throated defense of everybody’s native tongues, and the right - no, the need - to hang onto them." –The Boston Globe"Fascinating…Little’s obvious enthusiasm drives the prose and keeps the information fresh and relevant. Arguing that language heritage is about more than the use of definite articles, Little delivers a revealing lesson in history, culture, prejudice, and privilege."-Booklist"An entertaining and enlightening book from a brainy, foul-mouthed and very funny tour guide." –Kirkus Review"An enchanting journey across the landscape of American language and culture, including everything from Navajo to Norwegian."– Publishers Weekly
