Reviews

This volume's originality rests with its focus upon Portuguese as a palpable example for working through theories and concepts of linguistic globalization. Instead of merely presenting theoretical approaches, the use of a concrete example such as Portuguese across the world speaks to the multiple, transnational, transcultural, and transidiomatic characteristics of languages in a world of intense and complex cultural movement. -Nelson Vieira, Brown University, USA The contributions are diverse (discourse analyses, ethnographies, participant observations, interviews, etc.) but theoretically coherent (post-modern). The volume covers a multiplicity of geographic areas (Europe, America, Asia and Africa) where Portuguese is spoken as a majority language (Brazil, Portugal, Mozambique and East Timor) and a minority language (Canada, Uruguay). -Ana M. Carvalho, University of Arizona, USA A timely and fascinating volume of essays bringing current cutting-edge debates on linguistic ideologies in an era of globalization and super-diversity to analyze linguistic policies, ideologies, practices and attitudes of the Portuguese-speaking world. -Clare Mar-Molinero, University of Southampton, UK
