Brilliantly framed at beginning and end by two powerhouse scholars in multilingual education, this volume addresses central questions of how learners’ own languages (or language varieties), cultural practices and identities can be included in pedagogical approaches that challenge an overarching monolingual habitus. The chapters are interspersed with brief personal testimonies, giving life to the agency of educators who find ways, even in the most constrained and debilitating of spaces, to celebrate and build on the richly diverse repertoires of learners.
