Abstract:

This book explores the transnational practices of migrant groups in
global London, illustrating the complex relations between migrants and
the city in the context of globalisation. The chapters offer a
starting point to examine migrants and the city from a comparative
perspective by bringing together case studies of diverse migrant
communities. They use ‘languaging’ as the central concept in the
development of an interdisciplinary framework that creates an
opportunity to ‘talk across disciplines’ to engage with key issues
crisscrossing migration, cities and language. The book promotes
‘language-based’ or ‘language-sensitive’ research, drawing on the
plurilingual repertoires and the language and translanguaging
practices of migrant communities as the tool for data collection and
ethnographic fieldwork. This approach generates fresh insights into
the complex issues of diasporic identities, belonging and
place-making, which have broad implications for migration studies in
post-Brexit Britain and beyond.
