Reviews for Constructing Patienthood in Brokered Medical Interaction: Iraqi–English Encounters

Delving deeply into the nuances of agency and speakership of immigrant patients by examining the complex interactions between the language broker, the language brokeree, and the medical professional, Constructing Patienthood fills several important gaps in the field and is a superb contribution on the subject of social interaction and language brokering in medical settings!--Sarah Crafter, The Open University
