[close] _Living Pidgin: Contemplations on Pidgin Culture_ collects talks and concrete poems by Hawai`i's "pidgin guerrilla," Lee Tonouchi. Included in the book are such essays as "Da State of Pidgin Address" and "That Pidgin Th-ang," which combine insight about Hawaiian Creole English (usually referred to as "pidgin") with Tonouchi's usual verve and wit. A must-buy for anyone interested in Hawai`i, in language, in multicultural America. Beautifully designed by Mike Cueva. [close]
