Perceptions of how we speak—what is considered prestigious, attractive, trustworthy, authoritative, or friendly (or the opposite of all of the above)—are inextricably intertwined with social status and, therefore, racism, classism, and other forms of prejudice. The languages we speak are bound up in history, including colonization, war, and political conflicts, and these complex situations echo through generations. (Kirkus Reviews)
