This book looks at the creative activities which occur when strangers meet and settle in new places. Chapters explore the use of literature in art installations; the translation of immigration law; education materials; and intercultural understanding. The research reveals the extent to which migration takes different forms as life is made anew out of intercultural encounters which have a geographical specificity. This shift in focus allows a different lens to be placed on languages, intercultural communication and migration, and enables the settings themselves to come under scrutiny. This book was published as a special issue of Language and Intercultural Communication.
