Migrant Communication Enterprises

Regimentation and Resistance

Beschreibung

This critical sociolinguistic ethnography explores "locutorios" (ethnic call shops) in Barcelona, where migrant populations mobilise to challenge the global private telecommunications sector as well as present-day governments. These migrant-owned businesses act as a window into their multimodal and hybrid communicative practices.
