This volume helps expand our understanding of the way language learning is always geosemiotically structured - sometimes hindering or closing off access, other times opening up powerful new opportunities. I applaud the editors for bringing together such a distinctive, diverse array of case studies. * Crispin Thurlow, University of Bern, Switzerland *
