Reviews

This is an exciting volume of varied yet conceptually coherent chapters, challenging dominant paradigms in the field of applied linguistics. Established and emerging scholars are brought together, each with an authoritative voice and a committed activist stance. The collection broadens the scope of the field, encouraging it towards a thoughtful, critical, and socially relevant future. * James Simpson, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology, Hong Kong * Risk, vulnerability and challenge are crucial concepts for a responsive and socially engaged discipline such as applied linguistics. This important volume explores the dynamics of risk in challenging contemporary times and the ways the vulnerability of being 'at risk' can be transformed into resistance and activism. Essential reading for researchers and practitioners engaged in applied linguistic research that aims to make a difference. * Mike Baynham, University of Leeds, UK *
