Happy publication day to Kelly Biers (associate professor at @unc_asheville), whose book Boojoo! An Introduction to Wisconsin Walloon is out today! Learn more: https://uwpress.wisc.edu/Books/B/Boojoo On the left, a photo of the cover of BOOJOO! At top, text reads AVAILABLE NOW. On the right, two blurbs: “A welcome addition to our understanding of Wisconsin’s linguistic richness. If you’re interested in Wisconsin Walloon or how immigrant languages have developed in our state, you need this book.”—Joe Salmons. “Timely and comprehensive, this book provides a clear road map of spoken Wisconsin Walloon, a language linked to heritage, history, and community identity. My own enthusiasm for this invaluable volume—as a linguist, native Wisconsinite, and descendant of Walloon-speaking Belgian immigrants—is boundless!”—Colleen Cotter by @uwiscpress
