Abstract:

This highly original book brings compelling narratives of migration and social
diversity vividly to life. At once a play script and an outcome of
ethnographic research, it is a rich resource for the interpretation and
representation of life in the multilingual city. The book takes an inside view
of a hidden space in the city: an advice and advocacy service in a Chinese
community centre. Here, advisors translate and translanguage, making sense of
the bureaucratic world for clients who need help to access rights and
resources related to housing, employment, education, welfare benefits,
insurance, taxation, health and much more.
