Recenzii

“This book effectively illustrates the daily life of a social group that needs to navigate language in order to successfully gain admission into the setting they seek to enter, and provides important insights into how day labourers think and act in order to work effectively in a society … . All in all, this work gives the day labourers a voice in American society, demonstrating the power of using critical approaches to research, particularly critical ethnography and critical discourse analysis.” (Michael R. Scott, Discourse & Society, Vol. 28 (2), 2017)
