Abstract/Summary

This chapter deals with the relationship between language and migration. From early human migrations, through centuries of colonialism and up to contemporary phases of globalization, the discussion draws on anthropology as well as applied linguistics, geography and sociology to understand the complex interactions between language practices and human mobility. Literacy and multilingualism are explored within their social, cultural and political contexts as a means of illustrating the diversity of language practices migrants draw on at various stages of their migrations.
