"This is an amazing collection of literacy autobiographies by a group of multilingual language users and a critical engagement with them by Canagarajah, coming directly out of practice but with wide-ranging theoretical and methodological implications. There is nothing like it out there, and this volume will really push the boundaries and be a key milestone for literacy studies, translingual writing and language in education."Li Wei, University College London, UK"At once a treatise on language and writing pedagogy, a collection of translingual and transnational literacy autoethnographies, and a textbook, this is a remarkable publishing feat that, in and through its multifaceted character, demonstrates both the challenges and value of transnational and translingual writing and its teaching."Bruce Horner, University of Louisville, USA
