Abstract:

Certain forms of mobility and multilingualism tend to be portrayed as
problematic in the public sphere, while others are considered to be
unremarkable. 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.
