cover of Boojoo!: An Introduction to Wisconsin Walloon

Boojoo!

An Introduction to Wisconsin Walloon

Kelly Biers

University of Wisconsin Press, 2026

Walloon is a language still spoken by a minority population in its home country of Belgium. It can also still be found among a few sparse communities descended from Belgian immigrants in northeastern Wisconsin. Although spoken by a small number of people, the language plays a vital role in the ethnic heritage of the state and is audible in local words like “booyah” and “trippe.”

This book is the first to introduce the language without recourse to French, of which Walloon is sometimes mistakenly described as a variant or dialect. With this text, English-language speakers will need nothing more than interest to pick up basic conversational Walloon, thanks to Kelly Biers’s clear guidance for pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Additionally, readers will learn about how this minority language arrived in the Upper Midwest, the history of Belgian American immigration and settlement, and the language’s linguistic features.

Boojoo and welcome to Wisconsin Walloon!

Secret Germany

Myth in Twentieth-Century German Culture

Furio Jesi

Seagull Books, 2021

An analysis of how a political myth is taken and treated as a metaphor that reflects how a country like Germany built its own destiny.

In the decades before the rise of the Third Reich, “Secret Germany” was a phrase used by the circle of writers around the poet Stefan George to describe a collective political and poetic project: the introduction of the highest values of art into everyday life, the secularization of myth and the mythologization of history. In this book, Furio Jesi takes up the term in order to trace the contours of that political, artistic, and aesthetic thread as it runs through German literary and artistic culture in the period—which, in the 1930s, became absorbed by Nazism as part of its prophecy of a triumphant future. Drawing on thinkers like Carl Jung and writers such as Thomas Mann and Rainer Maria Rilke, Jesi reveals a literary genre that was transformed, tragically, into a potent political myth.
