Addressing the themes of collaboration and transformation, the chapters critically examine how people work together to catalyse change in diverse global contexts, experiences and traditions. The authors suggest an epistemological and methodological turn to the study of translanguaging, which is particularly reflected in the collaborative, arts-based and action research/activist approaches followed in the chapters. The book will be of particular interest to scholars using ethnographic, critical and collaborative action and activist research approaches to the study of multilingualism in educational and creative arts contexts.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>This collection of studies constitutes a ground-breaking move towards a much better understanding of translanguaging and its transformative potential in education.
