Language, Labour and Migration explores two fundamental aspects of
the migrant experience through a multi-disciplinary lens which
combines the research of leading academics at the cutting edge of
their fields. This latest volume from the centre for the Study of
Migration brings together the work of anthropologists, economists,
geographers, historians, political scientists and medical
practitioners. Essays explore topics which include the role of
mother tongue as a bridge to assimilation, the racialization of
immigrants and refugees through language, the patterns of
resistance undertaken by lascars, the experience of black British
seamen in the eighteenth century, health advocacy in the twentieth
century and the way in which cyber-space is being used to
rediscover ethnic identity in the twenty-first century. Other
essays examine Chinese labour in France during the First world war,
employment opportunities for those deficient in the majority
language and poverty in old age. All provide new and at times
controversial, insights into the problems of language and labour in
an alien society.
