This book offers insights into questions related to mobility, literacy learning and literacy practices of adult and adolescent migrants.

The formal and informal educational settings examined include state-mandated schools, community settings, and libraries, and the chapters offer insights into the complex relations between literacies and mobility, as well as a range of perspectives on language use and language learning.
