Overview"Exploring the roles of students’ pluralistic linguistic and transnational identities at the university level, this book offers a novel approach to translanguaging by highlighting students’ perspectives, voices, and agency as integral to the subject. Providing an original reconsideration of the impact of translanguaging, this book examines both transnationality and translinguality as ubiquitous phenomena that affect students’ lives. Demonstrating that students are the experts of their own language practices, experiences, and identities, the authors argue that a proactive translingual pedagogy is more than an openness to students’ spontaneous language variations. Rather, this proactive approach requires students and instructors to think about students’ holistic communicative repertoire, and how it relates to their writing. Robinson, Hall, and Navarro address students’ complex negotiations and performative responses to the linguistic identities imposed upon them because of their skin color, educational background, perceived geographical origin, immigration status, and the many other cues used to ""minoritize"" them. Drawing on multiple disciplinary discourses of language and identity, and considering the translingual practices and transnational experiences of both U.S. resident and international students, this volume provides a nuanced analysis of students’ own perspectives and self-examinations of their complex identities. By introducing and addressing the voices and self-reflections of undergraduate and graduate students, the authors shine a light on translingual and transnational identities and positionalities in order to promote and implement inclusive and effective pedagogies. This book offers a unique yet essential perspective on translinguality and transnationality, and is relevant to instructors in writing and language classrooms; to administrators of writing programs and international student support programs; and to graduate students and scholars in language education, second language writing, applied linguistics, and literacy studies."

Conclusion: Negotiated IdentitiesReviewsThis important volume extends the growing body of scholarship on translingualism and transnationalism by helping us think beyond the assumption that teachers are only ever experts of language and that students are only ever 'learners' of language. As Robinson, Hall, and Navarro demonstrate, we need to be mindful of the ways in which students are agents, and indeed experts, of languaging as well. Such a reminder is important for all researchers, teachers, and program administrators interested in supporting multilingual students. -Jerry Won Lee, Associate Professor, University of California, Irvine, USA This important volume extends the growing body of scholarship on translingualism and transnationalism by helping us think beyond the assumption that teachers are only ever experts of language and that students are only ever 'learners' of language.
