Reviews

'This book is an important contribution to the study of transnational migrants...Most importantly, it raises provocative questions about the nature and functioning of multilingual societies and identities and illustrates the usefulness of life stories as a way of investigating new migrant communities...offers a beautiful tribute to the author's new adopted city and an engaging, informative, and thought-provoking study that will be of interest to a variety of readers interested in migration, globalization, multilingualism, and identity construction.' - Discourse& Communication '...the book is important for those who want to better understand individual lives within the context of globalization. While there are many treatments of this subject, there are few that provide the conceptual clarity, along with the richness of story detail, that Block gives us in this book.' - Ofelia Garcia, Columbia University
