"For researchers and graduate students interested in pursuing studies related to multilingualism, this is a highly informative work that provides theoretical and methodological forays into many aspects of critical and ethnographic sociolinguistic research. It indeed takes up Blommaert’s call (2010) for innovative conceptual and methodological approaches that can capture the highly complex, mobile and technologised communications in the 21st century."- Ruth Harnam, The University of Georgia, John Benjamins Publishing Company
