Reviews

With their innovative application of embodied sociolinguistics and the post-humanist paradigm, Kellie Goncalves and Anne Schluter provide a welcome and necessary addition to multilingual studies of language and the workplace. Their ethical and engaged research approach comes through on each page, and the focus on emotional intelligence offers a fresh and very different way of approaching female leadership, particularly for sociolinguistics. * Helen Kelly-Holmes, University of Limerick, Ireland * I enjoyed this book very much. I found it well written and accessible to scholars who do not speak English as a first language, such as myself. The authors develop and draw upon approaches predicated on competing and complementary orientations, including language policy and planning, post-structural approaches to language, post-humanism, gender studies, and language research in Lusophone countries, to focus on domestic labor in a global context, an important area of research that is beginning to attract the attention that it deserves. In particular, the authors provided an excellent analysis of female domestic labor which enhances our understanding of gender relations in contexts of asymmetrical power relations. * Sinfree Makoni, Pennsylvania State University, USA *
