Rezensionen

_ SHORT-LISTED FOR THE BAAL BOOK PRIZE 2018 _

"Human mobility, migration, dislocation and displacement present a challenge to established notions of language in use. In this book Suresh Canagarajah has met the challenge, doing justice to the multilingual realities of lives led on the move: he has assembled a stellar array of scholars who together present exciting new understandings and re-examinations of language in contexts of mobility. This wide-ranging, compelling volume could not be more timely."

- James Simpson, University of Leeds, UK

"A terrific selection of articles by cutting edge scholars, useful for teachers, researchers and theorists across disciplines looking for an overview on language and migration. An excellent introduction to the field for both novices and experts."

- Anne Whiteside, City College of San Francisco, USA.

"Ever since the cultural turn and the mobility turn in the social sciences, the study of languagein migration studies has assumed new urgency. This Handbook is the place where I turn for stimulating and informed accounts of research. Beyond that, the contributions provide vital insights that, like its subject matter, transcend national borders and disciplinary boundaries."

- Thomas Faist, Bielefeld University, Germany

"This impressive, compelling volume looks at human migration and language, a growing field of study emerging from the accelerated pace of individuals and groups uprooted because of political conflict, civil rights degradation, economic woes, and religious and social persecution. (...) This is an excellent book. (...) Summing Up: Essential."
