Locating language choice and multilingualism at salsa parties on two different continents, this book offers a fresh and engaging way of doing sociolinguistics in the 21st century. On this global tour we meet dancers who embrace cosmopolitan, consumerist and strongly individualist identities at the same time that they cannot quite shake off the identities and ideologies of the nation state.

By tracing transnational movements of Spanish together with salsa, Britta Schneider finds her way into a subtle, language-centered approach to globalization. Dancing between Germany and Australia, partnering ethnography with social critique, she has written an account which is interesting for its particulars, but also important as an argument for thinking about language together with bodily practices in new projects of global modernity.

In this light-footed, fast-turning study (language is as language does), Britta Schneider takes us into the salsa classes of Sydney and Frankfurt, asking why it is that these Latin cultural practices may or may not be accompanied by Spanish. This original and intriguing book asks what language means to people, what ideologies inform these understandings of language, and how these views on language are connected to other cultural practices, such as dancing.
