In this groundbreaking study, The Language of Political
Incorporation, Amy Liu focuses on Chinese migrants in
Central-Eastern Europe and their varying levels of political
incorporation in the local community. She examines the
linguistic diversity of migrant networks, finding institutional
trust and civic engagement depend not on national identity, but on
the network’s linguistic diversity—namely, whether the
operating language is a migrant’s mother tongue or a lingua
franca. The Language of Political Incorporation uses original
survey data to assess when the Chinese engage positively with the
authorities and when they become civic minded. The results are
surprising. In Hungary, the Chinese community has experienced high
levels of political incorporation in part because they have not
been targeted by anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies. In contrast,
migrants in Romania sought the assistance of the Chinese embassy to
fight an effort to collect back taxes. Liu also compares the
Chinese experiences in Central-Eastern Europe with those of Muslims
in the region, as well as how the Chinese are treated in Western
Europe. Additionally, she considers how the local communities
perceive the Chinese. The Language of Political Incorporation
concludes by offering best practices for how governments can help
migrants become more trusting of—and have greater involvement
with—locals in their host countries. Ultimately, Liu demonstrates
the importance of linguistic networks for the incorporation of
immigrants.
