This book explores the language and literacy practices which
sustain transnational migration across generations and across
traditional boundaries such as school and home. The author has
conducted extensive fieldwork in Pakistan and the UK to study
migration between the two countries. Individuals' access to the
dominant literacies of migration are contrasted with the vernacular
practices which migrants take up at home as part of their digital
literacies. The study explores the blurring of boundaries between
home and school as well as the blurring of boundaries between
language varieties. Tracing access to literacy in this way also
shines a light on the literacy mediators migrants turn to for help
with English language learning and when trying to access the
bureaucratic literacies of migration. The study ends by exploring
how migrants use all of their language resources, not just English,
to fit into their new homes once they have arrived in the UK.
