RICHARD M. SWIDERSKI is Education Coordinator at Canal Community Alliance in San Rafael, California. Formerly Professor of Anthropology at Moi University in Kenya, he is the author of seven books, including Voices: An Anthropologist's Dialogue (1986), Teaching Language, Learning Culture (Bergin & Garvey, 1993), and Eldoret: An African Ethnography (1995).
?Swiderski's book is very interesting for students who know basic
linguistics....he almost artistically touches down here and there
to make the known classical lingustic aspects glitter in new hues.
I found it extremely interesting to read this book; it is written
in a simple and "light" English, and it gave me many good examples
for my lectures on English and general lingustics. Thus I have no
hesitation in recommending this book, including to
students.?-WORD
