{"product_id":"mither-tongue-jidi-majia-9781913212315","title":"Mither Tongue","description":"This collection of Jidi Majia's poetry in Chinese and Nuosu (a lesser-spoken language in China, though there are around two and a half million speakers) has been translated into the three strands of the Scots language: Lallans by Stuart Paterson, Doric by Sheena Blackhall and Shetlandic by Christine de Luca. These translations will be face-to-face with an English translation by the eminent translator from Chinese, Denis Mair, who will also provide a preface on the context of Jidi Majia's heritage and poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJidi Majia's Scots translators have undoubtedly brought his vitality into alignment with the power of the Scots tongues, as does Denis Mair's excellent and erudite rendering into English. Aimed at two linguistic communities and coming from two linguistic communities at the other side of the planet, this collection presents a perfect symmetry in a globalized world where we need a dialogue not only between the powerful but also and perhaps even more rewardingly between the local and marginalized. The infinite is often to be encountered in the circumscribed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jidi Majia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1913212319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913212315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vagabond Voices\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e Scots\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Jidi Majia","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993713672447,"sku":"9781913212315","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_74b1b556-94cf-4af9-80b8-bea3971f1a8a.jpg?v=1683325885","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mither-tongue-jidi-majia-9781913212315","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
