It is minimalist, just people talking and telling their stories. Yet, the seemingly mundane conversations bring out rich imageries and emotions. It is a new genre in the making. * Zhu Hua, University of Birmingham, UK * In this brilliant and fascinating piece of 'ethnographic theatre', Adrian Blackledge and Angela Creese illustrate, in a kaleidoscope of characters and scenes, the complexity of the social, linguistic and, more generally, human problems that migrants and people who try to help them face every day. In the process, they make us rethink what it means to do qualitative research. * Anna De Fina, Georgetown University, USA * Author InformationAdrian Blackledge is Professor of Sociolinguistics at the University of Stirling, UK.
