Book synopsis

A two-bladed sword of reconciliation and betrayal, Chinook Jargon (aka Wawa) arose at the interface of 'Indian' and 'White' societies in the Pacific Northwest. Wawa became a diaspora language in which many communities seek some trace of their past. This book is suitable for linguists, especially those involved in contact linguistics.
