Divided into three thematic sections, this book explores the contestation of spaces and the notion of borders, examines the ways in which heritage and authenticity are linked or challenged, and interrogates the intersections between mobility and hierarchies and the ways that language can be linked to notions of belonging and aspirations for mobility. Based on fieldwork in Africa, Asia, Australasia and Europe, it explores how language functions as both site of struggle and as a means of overcoming struggle. This 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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52405310095633,"sku":"NLS9781788925037","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781788925037.jpg?v=1759509866"},{"product_id":"multilingualism-im-mobilities-and-spaces-of-belonging-book-kristine-horner-9781788925044","title":"Multilingualism, (Im)mobilities and Spaces of Belonging","description":"Certain forms of mobility and multilingualism tend to be portrayed as problematic in the public sphere, while others are considered to be unremarkable.
