More about the book
Exploring the intricate relationship between language and societal structures, this study delves into how linguistic forms influenced the creation and perpetuation of societies reliant on coerced labor. It examines the dynamics of power between masters and servants across different cultures, highlighting the role of colonialism in imposing European languages and ideologies. O'Rourke illustrates how these practices disconnected conquered peoples from their histories, reshaping their identities and environments to fit colonial narratives of superiority and control.
