When I put a hold on this book, I didn't realize the linguist author was an annoying "centrist" thinker who has had so much racist dialogue and criticisms of other people of color and their language/culture. This book should still be interesting - I also wrote a rather interesting paper in grad school aboutthe use of swearing that incorporates the mother - but I'll probably pick up a more leftist linguistic book next
