«Negotiating Linguistic Identity [..] is thus a welcome contribution to the debate on identity in International Relations. [...] All the chapters are detailed and thought-provoking contributions that make this book useful especially for persons that are seldom exposed to the type of debates privileging identity and soft power better to understand international relations.»
(Stéphan Sberro, European Review of International Studies, 3/2016)
