Written by a wide range of highly regarded scholars and exciting junior ones, this book critiques and operationalizes contemporary thinking in the rapidly expanding field of linguistic anthropology. It does so using case studies of actual everyday language practices from an extremely understudied yet incredibly important area of the Global South: Indonesia. In doing so, it provides a rich set of studies that model and explain complex linguistic anthropological analysis in engaging and easily understood ways. As a book that is both accessible for undergraduate students and enlightening for graduate students through to senior professors, this book problematizes a wide range of assumptions. The diversity of settings and methodologies used in this book surpass many recent collections that attempt to address issues surrounding contemporary processes of diversification given rapid ongoing social change. In focusing on the trees, so to speak, the collection as a whole also enables readers to see the forest. This approach provides a rare insight into relationships between everyday language practices, social change, and the ever-present and ongoing processes of nation-building.

It is the driving forces of both my father and mother that has brought me to this creative whirlwind called writing. As a result, I was inspired to put my thoughts to paper and share them. I have always enjoyed poetry - reading and writing - and want to share my particular, or as some may say, "peculiar" flow of words with others. This book evolves from memories of my childhood and into the reflections of adulthood. The ride has not always been smooth, as life would have it, even rough and bumpy at times. But throughout life there are many moments, instances, and circumstances that jog a memory, inspire a thought and even evoke emotions. This book is an eclectic representation of those memories, life inspired thoughts and emotions that have molded me to who I am now. So sit back, put your feet up and go on this journey of expression with me.
