{"product_id":"my-broken-language","title":"My Broken Language","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHudes grew up in North Philadelphia in a Puerto Rican family where Spanish was the language of her aunts' parties and English was the language of school, and neither one could hold what she actually needed to say. \u003cem\u003eMy Broken Language\u003c\/em\u003e is the memoir of how she built \u003cem\u003eIn the Heights\u003c\/em\u003e — the Tony-winning musical — from the specific people and corner she grew up on, not a generic \"immigrant story\" but 5th and Norris. The book is about translation in every direction: between languages, between the living and the dead, between the stage and the block it came from. Hudes shows what art is for — not escape, not uplift, but the form you build when language breaks under the weight of what happened.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Punk and Pedagogy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47198901338310,"sku":null,"price":18.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/9066\/8742\/files\/my-broken-language.jpg?v=1789411738","url":"https:\/\/punkandpedagogy.com\/products\/my-broken-language","provider":"Punk and Pedagogy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
