Reviews

An authoritative collection offering a comprehensive account of the ways in which places are branded. Covering an impressive geo-political range of contexts and employing a variety of theoretical and analytical approaches, this book breaks new ground in contemporary sociolinguistic inquiry. - Tommaso Milani, Professor of Multilingualism, University of Gothenburg Language and symbols are at the heart of the nation's brand. Bringing together expert contributions from linguistics, anthropology and management, Theodoropoulou and Tovar show us how to recognize the power and limits of discursive and semiotic forms. This robust and multidisciplinary volume will be of use to international practitioners, policy makers and scholars to make sense of national promotion in global communication circuits. - Melissa Aronczyk, Associate Professor of Journalism & Media Studies, Rutgers University In this timely and impressive collection, Theodoropoulou and Tovar bring together a wide range of case studies on place and nation branding in a world on the cusp of the C19 pandemic. The book persuasively demonstrates the centrality of discourse and the confluence of politics, profits and partisanship in contemporary nation building. - Adam Jaworski, Chair Professor of Sociolinguistics, University of Hong Kong
