This chapter guides readers back to the need for a critical
understanding of how language co-constitutes identity, and importantly
how the ‘translocal’ intersects with global flows and transmigration.
Drawing on intercultural relationships and dialogues with Nuba
women in Australia, the chapter problematizes shifting and sometimes
fictive national and ethnic boundaries. Importantly, it encourages those
involved in resettlement to work harder toward providing opportunities for
the South Sudanese diaspora living in this region and elsewhere to make
self-determined choices about community language maintenance and
preservation.
