Reviews
Taking as a point of departure the seminal work of Sarangi and Roberts, and more generally of linguistic anthropology, the author manages to take us through the thick intricacies of tense gatekeeping encounters like those of internship interviews, often the first way into the (unpaid) working world for many immigrant minority youngsters. Surely, the author has got the job done right. Massimiliano Spotti, Tilburg University, The Netherlands; This study builds upon and advances earlier research on gatekeeping encounters, showing the importance of the presence of co-membership or its opposite - the establishment of a we-relation or a you-relation among interlocutors. Combining approaches from interactional sociolinguistics, conversation analysis, and cultural studies, the book presents compelling transcribed examples and provides fresh insights into the performance of social identity in face-to-face interaction. Frederick Erickson, University of California, Los Angeles, USA
