Reviews

This critical study provides a deep interrogation of the sociohistorical and language socialisation practices of Polish young people as they negotiate the complexities of their social and family worlds. A must-read for gaining a contemporary and nuanced insight into young people's agency as they navigate the deeply embedded matrix of language, power and identity in an increasingly linguistically diverse Irish society. * Deirdre McGillicuddy, University College Dublin, Ireland *


This study provides a close-up picture of the experience of Polish immigrants to Ireland as they traverse the teenage years juggling two languages. The range of information presented - including school observations and interviews with students and parents - and the rich theoretical analyses make a unique contribution to research on language socialisation and bilingualism. * John Harris, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland * A fascinating study that will inspire readers to consider how young heritage language users' stories of socialization, identity and language development are not only impacted by family factors and broader Discourses, but also by their own aspirations, providing a vivid illustration of youth agency. * Martin Guardado, University of Alberta, Canada * This critical study provides a deep interrogation of the sociohistorical and language socialisation practices of Polish young people as they negotiate the complexities of their social and family worlds. A must-read for gaining a contemporary and nuanced insight into young people's agency as they navigate the deeply embedded matrix of language, power and identity in an increasingly linguistically diverse Irish society. * Deirdre McGillicuddy, University College Dublin, Ireland *
