Reviews
Among the studies that analyse the motives and consequences of leaving the home country or the adjustment or possible marginality in the receiving country due to economic and social reasons, this work adds an interesting axis of language to the factors in both situations. [...] I find this book definitely useful in Latin American Studies and in any academic programs that concentrate on encounters between two or more cultures.
