Review Quotes:
"Each chapter in this edited collection contributes a rich and textured exploration of the language of marginality in a global context, engaging critically with the complexity of subjectivity. It makes a compelling and nuanced case for the study of subjectivity when considering the language of marginality in a global context. The range of global scholars contributing to this collection is impressive. By bringing together scholars at different stages of their careers this book forges a path for inclusivity, in the process als0 addressing marginality in academic contexts." --Rosalchen Whitecross, Senior Lecturer in Criminology, Bath Spa University, UK and Research Associate, University of the Witwatersrand (Wits University), South Africa
"This book investigates the language associated with or produced by groups that are socially, culturally, racially and economically outliers and whose marginalisation results in a different engagement with and participation in mainstream society's activities." --Ram Ashish Giri, Academic, Monash College/Monash University, Australia
