Celts in the Americas a “must-read”: review
A nice overview and complimentary review of Celts in the Americas, edited by Michael Newton (CBU Press 2013), is published in the Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, vol. 35, 2, 2014.
The book is “a wealth of detail about the past and current presence of each language in the Americas. [A] must-read book for those interested in the Celtic languages, and a must-have one for library collections.”
And this from The Guardian (Charlottetown, PEI), January 25, 2014:
“a fascinating collection […]Let us hope “Celts in the Americas” may have many successors.”
“The most important contribution of this book may well be the awareness it imparts to readers of a whole ancient and complex world whose members are scattered — more or less disguised — among us.”
Watch for Michael Newton’s decidedly more playful Naughty Little Book of Gaelic: All the Scottish Gaelic You Need to Curse, Swear, Drink, Smoke and Fool Around, coming in early April.
