Reviews

,,, the book is valuable for providing an overarching framework of societal influences upon the LL of world-cities. Scholars will also benefit immensely from the authors' summaries of a wealth of sociological theory bearing upon modernity, globalisation, multiculturalism and transnational diasporas, and nationhood. - Robert A. Troyer, Western Oregon University, in: Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development

Troyer, Western Oregon University, in: Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development This volume is undoubtedly a very solid contribution to the rather new field of LL (Linguistic Landscapes): on the one hand because of its sound grounding in sociological theory on globalization and multiculturalism, and on the other, for the promising theoretical model Ben-Rafael and Ben-Rafael have elaborated of a LL paradigm for multiple globalizations. - Christine Helot, University of Strasbourg, in: Linguistic Landscape 6/1 (2020)
