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.
