      abstract = {This edited volume brings together ten compelling  ethnographic case studies from a range of global settings  to explore how people build metalinguistic communities  defined not by use of a language, but primarily by language  ideologies and symbolic practices about the language. The  authors examine themes of agency, belonging, negotiating  hegemony, and combating cultural erasure and genocide in  cultivating meaningful metalinguistic communities. Case  studies include Spanish and Hebrew in the USA, Kurdish in  Japan, Pataxo Hahahae in Brazil, and Gallo in France. The  afterword, by Wesley L. Leonard, provides theoretical and  on-the-ground context as well as a forward-looking focus on  metalinguistic futurities. This book will be of interest to  interdisciplinary students and scholars in applied  linguistics, linguistic anthropology and migration studies.

Jesse Harasta is an  Associate Professor of Social Science and program director  for International Studies at Cazenovia College, USA.
