| Summary |
What if you are made to feel ashamed when you speak your “mother tongue” or ridiculed because of your accent? “Pidgin: the Voice of Hawai'i” addresses these questions through its lively examination of Pidgin - the language spoken by over half of Hawai'i's people. "This film poignantly explains how language creates a sense of belonging in a society pressured to conform to the dominance of English. It is essential viewing for language educators, parents, and college students, especially in linguistics and Asian-Pacific Studies." Christina M. Higgins, Associate Professor, Second Language Studies, University of Hawai‘i |
