Reviews

A groundbreaking interdisciplinary book that breathes fresh air into the study of migration, which has been dominated by economic perspectives. It brings together migration studies, the practice of strategic multilingualism, and racialized identity formation. - Cilas Kemedjio, University of Rochester The wonderful story told here about the Senegalese diaspora in three cities of different languages is one that will be of interest to all Africanists and postcolonial critics regardless of discipline. - Jarrod Hayes, author of Queer Roots for the Diaspora: Ghosts in the Family Tree An outstanding work of original scholarship. - Midwest Book Review
