Multilingualism, (Im)Mobilities and Spaces of Belonging

The chapters in this volume investigate how diverse forms of (im)mobility and multilingualism are (re-)negotiated in relationship to space, identity and power. The volume will be of particular interest to scholars taking ethnographic and critical sociolinguistic approaches to the study of language and belonging in the context of globalisation.
