"(M)Other Tongue Syndrome: From Breast to Bottle" is an essay that draws on Illich's thoughts about mother tongue and taught language. The 2001 piece is by a linguist named Debaprasad Bandyopadhyay, of the Indian Statistical Institute, and it is available here. It looks at the tension in post-colonial India between Hindi and English.

NEW SCARE CITY
It's a fictional streetscape we wander, here, a metropolis whose buildings, boulevards, and back alleys are in a constant state of flux. This is every place, and yet, no place at all - a city of dreams and a dream of a city.
Here, we explore the life and work of Ivan Illich and his circle of collaborators. There's no comprehensive index to the articles published, but we invite you to use the Search box, to the left, and to explore the Archive links that appear at the bottom of each page. Comments are welcomed.
