Book Synopsis


Trade Review
I highly recommend Voices in Exile, along with its companion study Language in Exile, as books that should be in the libraries of all Creolists; indeed, most linguists would find them useful. They are relevant to many disciplines and will engage readers outside the specialist field, particularly those interested in colonialism, plantation economies, and the history of slavery. - Language and Linguistics (Australia) ""The two books in combination constitute a major breakthrough in the historical documentation of Jamaican texts... and are excellently produced; [they] combine social and linguistic variation in an exemplary way, adding important chapters to the sociohistorical linguistics of English."" - American Speech
