ABSTRACT

This volume, edited by Rosina Márquez Reiter and Luisa Martín Rojo, makes a unique contribution to studies of sociolinguistics by establishing, once and for all, the meanings that language and community hold for people and not simply for nation-states defined by geographic territories. By reterritorializing the Latino community in contexts that go beyond the Americas and closely describing the ways in which these speakers enregister their language practices in their dynamic diasporic lives, the contributors to this volume redefine the ways in which we have studied Latino language practices in the past.
