Reviews

Linguistic and cultural landscapes in our global society are changing so much and so fast as to render existing sociolinguistic theories hopelessly inadequate. In response, this book problematizes several concepts including hybridity and bilingualism, shedding critical light on metrolingual, transglossic, and transcultural phenomena. Voices from around the world present a compelling piece of analysis that our profession cannot afford to ignore. B. Kumaravadivelu, San Jose State University, USA This book is an important and valuable contribution to the growing literature on linguistic globalization. It offers a thoughtful reassessment of the nature and significance of the concept of hybridity, illustrating the key role it plays in the relationship between language-related issues and the process of globalization. Philip Seargeant, The Open University, UK Covering diverse locations in the world, The Global-Local Interface and Hybridity: Exploring Language and Identity highlights how global linguistic flows produce local innovations of linguistic practices, requiring us to reconceptualize the notion of language. Yet, the book also pushes us to scrutinize the contested nature of hybridity arising from cultural and economic complexities. Ryuko Kubota, University of British Columbia, Canada
