To hyphenate or not to hyphenate has been a central point of controversy since before the imprinting of the first Gutenberg Bible. And yet, the hyphen has persisted, bringing and bridging new words and concepts. The journey of this humble piece of connective punctuation reveals the quiet power of an orthographic concept to speak to the travails of hyphenated individuals all over the world. As well as following the history of the hyphen from antiquity?"Hyphen? is derived from an ancient Greek word meaning "to tie together??to the present, Pardis Mahdavi explores how it evolved typographically as well as the politics of the hyphen itself. Hyphen is ultimately a compelling story about the intertwining of language and identity.
