In a globalised, fast-paced world, it is easy to get swept up by the sound and fury of media, platforms, and AI. But, as literacy researchers, it is important to pause and move into cultures set in place and time brought to life by dialects, symbols, and scripts. Heritage Literacy in the Lives of Chinese Muslims gives researchers a chance to slow down to carefully consider how Sino-Muslims in China live and story their lives and heritage through language. Something important and deeply human is captured through Bhatt and Wang’s account of the rich diversity within multilingual, indigenised practices.
