This volume brings together scholars in sociolinguistics and the
sociology of new media and mobile technologies who are working on
different social and communicative aspects of the Latino diaspora.
There is new interest in the ways in which migrants negotiate and
renegotiate identities through their continued interactions with
their own culture back home, in the host country, in similar
diaspora elsewhere, and with the various "new" cultures of the
receiving country. This collection focuses on two broad political
and social contexts: the established Latino communities in urban
settings in North America and newer Latin American communities in
Europe and the Middle East. It explores the role of
migration/diaspora in transforming linguistic practices,
ideologies, and identities.

In her groundbreaking and innovative study, the author takes us on
a fascinating journey through some of Madrid's multilingual and
multicultural schools and reveals the role played by linguistic
practices in the construction of inequality through such processes
as what she calls "de-capitalization" and "ethnicization". Through
a critical sociolinguistic and discourse analysis of the data
collected in an ethnographic study, the book shows the exclusion
caused by monolingualizing tendencies and ideologies of deficit in
education and society. The book opens a timely discussion of the
management of diversity in multilingual and multicultural
classrooms, both for countries with a long tradition of migration
flows and for those where the phenomenon is relatively new, as is
the case in Spain. This study of linguistic practices in the
classroom makes clear the need to rethink some key linguistic
concepts, such as practice, competence, discourse, and language,
and to integrate different approaches in qualitative research. The
volume is essential reading for students and researchers working in
sociolinguistics, education and related areas, as well as for all
teachers and social workers who deal with the increasing
heterogeneity of our late modern societies in their work.
Against a background of the ongoing crisis of global capitalism and
the fracturing of the neoliberal project, this book provides a
detailed account of the ways in which language is profoundly
imbricated in the neoliberalising of the fabric of social life.
With chapters from a cast list of international scholars covering
topics such as the commodification of education and language,
unemployment, and the governmentality of the self, and discussion
chapters from Monica Heller and Jackie Urla bringing the various
strands together, the book ultimately helps us to understand how
language is part of political economy and the everyday making and
remaking of society and individuals. It provides both a theoretical
framework and a significant methodological "tool-box" to critically
detect, understand, and resist the impact of neoliberalism on
everyday social spheres, particularly in relation to language.
Presenting richly empirical studies that expand our understanding
of how neoliberalism as a regime of truth and as a practice of
governance performs within the terrain of language, this book is an
essential resource for researchers and graduate students in English
language, sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, linguistic
anthropology, and related areas.
