Reviews

This thought-provoking book is truly crossing borders in its themes, locations, and researcher profiles. It shows convincingly the range and span of the linguistic and social issues that writers from diverse backgrounds face when entering new contexts and facing new circumstances and genres. A must-read for all those teaching and evaluating writing. * Anne Pitkanen-Huhta, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland * The authors know firsthand what it means to cross borders and struggle to master the writing conventions of a new language and community to become fully participating members of that community. Their research elucidates the multifaceted challenges that people in this situation face, and offers valuable insights into how these challenges can be addressed and overcome. * Scott Jarvis, University of Utah, USA *
