Negotiating Identities, Language and Migration in Global London: Bridging Borders, Creating Spaces

Edited by Cangbai Wang and Terry Lamb 
Published by Multilingual Matters, 2024

This book explores the transnational practices of migrant groups in global London. It reveals the intricate relationships between migrants and the city amidst globalisation. The chapters offer a starting point to examine migrants and the city from a
comparative perspective by bringing together case studies of 
diverse migrant communities. 

By promoting ‘language-based’ or ‘language-sensitive’ research, it draws on the plurilingual repertoires and the language and translanguaging practices of migrant communities as the tool for data collection and ethnographic fieldwork. This approach 
generates fresh insights into the complex issues of diasporic identities, belonging and place-making, which have broad implications for migration studies in post-Brexit Britain and beyond.
