This book examines the intersectionality of gendered, religious
identity among Muslim women in Catalonia, and illustrates how this
identity is brokered through language use in a multilingual and
diasporic context. Drawing on a mixed methods study of 1st and 2nd
generation immigrant women, this book also examines how
acculturation is a transgenerational process reflected in
linguistic behavior. Through the use of questionnaire and interview
data, the author constructs a story about informants' experiences
navigating life vis-a-vis language use; specifically through the
use of Spanish, Catalan and native/heritage languages. This book
offers a unique lens through which we can further our understanding
of the role of language in the acculturation process in Catalonia.
It adds to the ongoing discussion about language and migration in
Catalonia and provides a valuable contribution to debates about
immigrant women's language learning and use.

Let down by the uncertainties of memory, language, and their own
family units, the characters in Harold Pinter's plays endure
persistent struggles to establish their own identities. Eroding the
Language of Freedom re-examines how identity is shaped in these
plays, arguing that the characters' failure to function as active
members of society speaks volumes to Pinter's ideological
preoccupation with society's own inadequacies. Pinter described
himself as addressing the state of the world through his plays, and
in the linguistic games, emotional balancing acts, and recurring
scenarios through which he put his characters, readers and
audiences can see how he perceived that world.
