This book offers a fresh perspective on the social life of
multilingualism through the lens of the important notion of
linguistic citizenship. All of the chapters are underpinned by a
theoretical and methodological engagement with linguistic
citizenship as a useful heuristic through which to understand
sociolinguistic processes in late modernity, focusing in particular
on linguistic agency and voices on the margins of our societies.
The authors take stock of conservative, liberal, progressive and
radical social transformations in democracies in the north and
south, and consider the implications for multilingualism as a
resource, as a way of life and as a feature of identity politics.
Each chapter builds on earlier research on linguistic citizenship
by illuminating how multilingualism (in both theory and practice)
should be, or could be, thought of as inclusive when we recognize
what multilingual speakers do with language for voice and agency.
