Linguistic Identities in the Arab Gulf States Summary

Linguistic Identities in the Arab Gulf States: Waves of Change by Sarah Hopkyns

* In the modern world of international communication and social media, identity has turned into a major issue as a result of globalization, displacement, growing power inequities, and internationalization of higher education.

* The four parts-language and power, media representation of Gulf identities, identities in transition, and English-medium instruction and the intercultural nature of the Gulf classrooms-encompass central issues to identity research

* From Instagram's #women2drive to coronavirus communication, the material is up-to-the-minute but this relevance and timeliness does not in any ways undermine the durability of interest in the topics of the book

Linguistic Identities in the Arab Gulf States Reviews

A powerful, insightful, timely, diverse, and well-presented volume on the complexity of the multilingual context of the Gulf countries. This book is a must-read for any researcher, education policy maker, graduate and undergraduate student interested in the role of language in society, assessing multilingual development, language, identity and investment, language policy and planning, language and power, and linguistic landscape.

Ahmad Al-Issa, Professor, College of Arts and Science, American University of Sharjah, UAE

This edited volume demonstrates the significance in adopting a context-sensitive approach to researching language, identity and culture. It provides rich insights into the changing language policy, ideologies and practices in the Gulf region, as well as key global issues such as inequality, migration and cultural changes. It is a timely addition to the growing body of critical literature in applied linguistics.

Zhu Hua, Professor of Language Learning and Intercultural Communication, UCL Institute of Education, UCL, UK.

Drawing on recent developments in identity, ideology and emotion research, this exciting volume gives readers fresh insights into how the multilingual ecologies of the Arab Gulf States are evolving in relation to contemporary phenomena like globalization and neoliberalism. This book is a must-read for applied linguists who are interested in language policy and practice issues in the Gulf region and beyond.

Peter De Costa, Associate Professor, Department of Linguistics, Languages, and Culture and the Department of Teacher Education, Michigan State University, USA.
