"This collection of essays on Linguistic Landscape (LL) research is organised around the theme of LL as a site of contestation. ... This interesting volume is organised around an important and highly pertinent set of themes. ... its breadth of discussions, most of which are not only thought-provoking but help LL study further establish itself within sociolinguistics." (Robert Blackwood, Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2016)
