Beskrivning

This is the first book to investigate how migrants and migrant rights activists work together to generate new forms of citizenship identities through the use of language. Shindo's book is an original take on citizenship and community from the perspective of translation, and an alluring amalgamation of theory and detailed empirical analysis based on ethnographic case studies of Japan.

Recensioner i media

''Shindo turns assumptions about misinterpretation, inaudibility and untranslatability on their head as she explores the possibilities of communication and its failure. An important and pioneering contribution to Citizenship and Migration Studies, which – until now – has lacked a robust theorisation of linguistic diversity.'' Anne McNevin, The New School
