Language City: Author Talk with Ross Perlin

Join us on February 11 to hear from author Ross Perlin, co-director of the Endangered Language Alliance. His book Language City: The Fight to Preserve Endangered Mother Tongues in New York, is a portrait of contemporary New York City through six speakers of little-known and overlooked languages, diving into the incredible history of the most linguistically diverse place ever to have existed on the planet.

This author talk is presented as part of the Preservation League of NYS's Preservation Book Club. Thank you to our sponsor, the Peggy N. & Roger G. Gerry Charitable Trust.
