Reviews

This book is a great and engaging work on Muslim immigrant women living in Catalonia. One of the most interesting aspects is the sources used in this research, since it is based on real data from fieldwork. It will be an important milestone for an under-researched area of sociolinguistic studies on women's linguistic attitudes. * Angeles Vicente, University of Zaragoza, Spain *

This book is a great and engaging work on Muslim immigrant women living in Catalonia. One of the most interesting aspects is the sources used in this research, since it is based on real data from fieldwork. It will be an important milestone for an under-researched area of sociolinguistic studies on women's linguistic attitudes. * Angeles Vicente, University of Zaragoza, Spain * With tenacity, rigor, and originality, Dr Farah Ali explores the intersectionally complex lives of Muslim immigrant women in Catalonia - lives that are too often ignored or misrepresented. Empirically rich, the volume illuminates how several generations of these women creatively use their multilingual repertoires to carve out spaces for belonging and to fight their own marginalization. * Inmaculada Ma Garcia-Sanchez, UCLA, USA *
