Reviews

"""This thought-provoking interactive volume tackles big themes in relation to a key current concern, human mobility, and what it entails for language. It has ambitious breadth of coverage, with topics ranging from colonialism and globalisation to literacy and multilingualism, online and off. This is matched by a wide-ranging geographical scope, as we travel from ancient Polynesia to contemporary urban UK via Mexico and Pakistan. In all, the work presents a satisfying and distinctive treatment of migration and language."" James Simpson, University of Leeds, UK ""Timely and accessible. Language and Migration presents powerfully curated global examples that ask us to engage critically with the politics of language in a world characterised by movement. An important resource for understanding and working with diversity."" Kerryn Dixon, Wits School of Education, South Africa ""In this volume Capstick combines sociolinguistic analysis with analytical tools and insights from a variety of disciplines including anthropology, geography, sociology and educational studies to illuminate the complex interactions between language practices and migration, and between language policies and wider political processes. This book will constitute an invaluable resource for scholars and students interested in language and migration."" Anna De Fina, Georgetown University, USA"
