{"product_id":"9780820374413","title":"unMothered, unTongued : Lyric Essays by Chloe Cooper Jones","description":"unMothered, unTongued is a collection of lyric essays written from the liminal space of the in-between. These essays thread themselves around questions of language, landscape, and identity, weaving together intersectionalities and intertextualities. Author Lee Horikoshi Roripaugh, a biracial LGBTQIA+ Nisei who was born and raised in Laramie, Wyoming, to a non-native-English-speaking Issei mother, considers not only the tensions in the rifts between intersectional identities (biracial Nisei, LGBTQIA+) but also the tensions between marginalized identities and the landscapes and cultures of the American West; the tensions between nonnative, second, erased, and\/or forgotten languages; and the tensions between those who abuse and those who survive. These rifts, intersections, and fractures, while frequently a source of violence and immense grief, are also a source of illumination and clarity. The essays in this collection are written almost entirely in hybrid\/lyric forms-oftentimes braided, oftentimes patchworked, oftentimes segmented-reflecting some of the fractured complexities and intersections of Horikoshi Roripaugh's own hybrid identities.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420365894005,"sku":"9780820374413","price":22.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780820374413","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
