I am of the view that this book will be an important publication in the fields of applied linguistics and sociolinguistics to further our understanding of language diversity in our globalizing world.. The editors succeed in showing the need for the handbook and the way it carves its own niche in the market.
He had a few very constructive suggestions, including adding a section on education, which I am discussing with the editors.

A handbook at this stage would be an invaluable resource, given this proliferation and indeed recent critique of the concept... Such a volume would also sit well in the Applied Linguistics series, given the centrality of language in work on superdiversity.. There are many strengths – the involvement of a team of already recognised scholars of international standing; the interdisciplinary focus and the centrality of language are all noteworthy.
Main suggestion was to add a section on education, as SC above. This does reflect the background of both readers but it is clearly important.

The Routledge Handbook of Language and Superdiversity provides an accessible and authoritative overview of this growing area, the linguistic analysis of interaction in superdiverse cities. Developed as a descriptive term to account for the increasingly stratified processes and effects of migration in Western Europe, 'superdiversity' has the potential to contribute to an enhanced understanding of mobility, complexity, and change, with theoretical, practical, global, and methodological reach.

With seven sections edited by leading names, the handbook includes 35 state-of-the art chapters from international authorities. The handbook adopts a truly interdisciplinary approach, covering:

Cultural heritage

Sport

Law

Education

Business and entrepreneurship.

The result is a truly comprehensive account of how people live, work and communicate in superdiverse spaces.

This volume is key reading for all those engaged in the study and research of Language and Superdiversity within Applied Linguistics, Linguistic Anthropology and related areas.
