Reviews

In a world divided by nations, institutional racism and sexism, and other forms of colonial injustice, Stroud's concept of Linguistic Citizenship allows us to rethink what it means to belong to and through language, to have agency and voice. This pathbreaking book is a must-read for anyone interested in linguistic justice, multilingualism and language and nationalism. * Jaspal Naveel Singh, The Open University, UK * The fascinating contributions in this collection align with a critical ongoing shift that challenges mythical framings of mainstream hegemonies related to 'language', including (re)locating the significance of 'language' in 'being and becoming'. Importantly, the contributions shift the focus from language to languaging. (Re)imagining centers and peripheries, they illustrate 'dignity in diversity', offering a much-needed opening for doing language 'otherwise'. * Sangeeta Bagga-Gupta Joenkoeping University, Sweden * An engaged and critical collection by eminent and rising scholars from the Global South and North, this book presents diverse theoretical and applied perspectives on the notion of Linguistic Citizenship. It reminds us of the continuing political relevance of language and of our shared hope and responsibility to contribute to democracy, justice and peace in a world of struggle. * Britta Schneider, European University Viadrina, Germany *
