Reviews

The volume engages its readers to consider and weigh the challenges faced by a wide range of users of English in their everyday lives, in their workplaces, education or social lives. ... The editors have succeeded in making the volume cohesive and well-balanced, having aptly divided the contributions into 4 subthemes that interconnect subtly with the title of the volume. (Paula Prescod, The Linguist List, linguistlist.org, June, 2016)
