“This is innovative and original research on two diasporic communities which [are] relatively under-researched in applied linguistics… I expect it to open new avenues of inquiry on the topic of language, migration and belonging of transnational migrants in today’s world… The book presents a significant intellectual contribution to the field of applied linguistics by focusing on the complexity of locality and synchronicity… This is an outstanding book with great potential to shape disciplinary conversations around language, migration and space.”
