This book uniquely explores the shifting structures of power and
unexpected points of intersection - entanglements - at the nexus of
North and South as a lens through which to examine the impact of
global and local circuits of people, practices and ideas on
linguistic, cultural and knowledge systems. The volume considers
the entanglement of North and South on multiple levels in the
contemporary and continuing effects of capitalism, colonialism, and
imperialism, in the form of silenced or marginalized populations,
such as refugees, immigrants, and other minoritised groups, and in
the different orders of visibility that make some types of
practices and knowledge more legitimate and therefore more visible.
It uses a range of methodological and analytical frames to shed
light on less visible histories, practices, identities,
repertoires, and literacies, and offer new understandings for
research and for language, health care, education, and other
policies and practices. The book brings together an exciting mix of
voices of both established and new scholars in multilingualism and
diversity from a range of social, political, and historical
contexts and provides coverage of areas previously underrepresented
in current research on multilingualism, globalization, and
mobility, including Brazil, South Africa, Australia, East Timor,
Wallis and Mayotte, Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau. This volume is
key reading for scholars, researchers, and graduate students in
multilingualism, globalisation, sociolinguistics, mobility and
development studies, applied linguistics, and language and
education policy. Chapter 2 of this book is freely available as a
