This excellent volume brings together an impressive assembly of scholars from around the world to explore a range of contexts relevant to the study of language and politics, from media, to economics, to education. Each contribution stands as a dramatic reminder of the relevance of Applied Linguistics to the precarious political moment we find ourselves in. --Rodney H. Jones, Professor of Sociolinguistics, University of Reading, UK At a time when many of us are bewildered and dismayed by the political terrain we find ourselves navigating, Chun has assembled an international gathering of extraordinary, insightful scholars, including the now-late Jan Blommaert, who offer analyses of languaging and discourse practices across a shockingly broad array of (often under-researched) communities and realms and shed much-needed clarity on the crucial question of how the work of applied linguists can change the political conditions of lives. --Suhanthie Motha, Associate Professor, English Department, University of Washington, USA
