Description: An ethnographic investigation of language, nationalism, mobility and political economy
set across francophone Canada. The book examines how social difference-race, ethnicity, language, gender-has been used to sort out who must (or can) be mobile and who must (or can) remain in place in the organization of global circulation of human and natural resources.

Review Quotes: "The authors convincingly demonstrate how global processes are transforming established notions of national identity ... the Challenges highlighted in this book will be of interest to researchers of language and nationalism in other contexts." -- Rachelle Vessey, Journal of Language and Politics
