By engaging with the complex relationships between fluidity and fixity in language policy, the book as a whole offers a compelling follow-up to Jaspers’ (2018) concern about translanguaging approaches being imbued with a sense of universal normative rightness as opposed to a ‘languages’ perspective, showing instead that the relationship between these perspectives is a highly contextual issue, deeply embedded in the politics of language of particular ecologies. A final area of reflection raised by this book regards the nature of language policy as a field. [I]t invites us to ask whether we are better off as parts of a relatively small, well-defined community, or benefit more from seeing language policy as sitting at a confluence of different fields, without such a clear identity, but with greater potential to serve as a space for dialogue between varied disciplinary value systems.

Overall, this book showcases a diversity of perspectives from various contexts, offering critical and practical insights into current situations. It is exceptionally well-edited and makes a great contribution to the study of language policy. It excels in setting and defining the contexts in which each research study is embedded. Because the topic is rife with ideologies and political opinions, sensitivity is obviously required – and this is evident throughout the collection. [...] The stellar content here will certainly prove an inspiration for scholars, policy-makers and students.
