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.
