"As I dug into the Creole language, word by word, I discovered for the first time that a language is actually a worldview. Syntax and vocabulary are not only tools for communication, but for organizing and understanding the world that surrounds us. The moment that I really understood this was when I looked up the word “poverty” in my Creole-English dictionary and found that it was also the word for “hollow tin can.” The power of this image is breathtaking, and one that belongs solely to Creole". Merete Mueller
