*Not Like a Native Speaker: On Languaging as a Postcolonial Experience* by Rey Chow is a critical exploration of language and identity in the context of postcolonial theory. The book examines the experiences of non-native speakers and the ways in which language intersects with issues of race, ethnicity, and cultural identity. Chow, a prominent scholar in postcolonial studies, delves into the complexities of linguistic and cultural assimilation, addressing how language can both empower and marginalize individuals in a globalized world. Through a series of essays, Chow offers insights into the challenges faced by those who navigate multiple languages and cultural contexts, highlighting the broader implications for understanding identity and power dynamics in postcolonial societies.
