Language and Migration provides a lively introduction to the
relationship between language and migration. Drawing on real-world
case studies from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle
East, and New Zealand, this book investigates the language and
literacy practices which sustain, extend, or curb different forms
of migration. Individual trajectories, family networks, and
societal level policy are examined through an interdisciplinary
perspective on empires and colonialism, transnationalism, and
globalization. Exploring the linguistic diversity which has
resulted from voluntary and forced migration, this book covers
theories from migration studies, applied linguistics,
sociolinguistics, sociology, and education studies, and offers
broad coverage of different contexts of migration across the globe.
It provides students and teachers with: Migration theories to
interrogate current thinking on human mobility. Concepts from
applied linguistics combined with other disciplines to explore
complex migration experiences in countries of origin and
destination. A critical understanding of language and power in
economic migration and forced migration. An introduction to the
role of language in broader debates about the impact of migration
on national and international policies such as international
development, global security, and education. Practical guidance on
using discourse analysis to identify how migrant identities are
constructed in the media and how this affects our understandings of
asylum, immigration, and social cohesion. Featuring a range of
activities and case studies in each chapter, Language and Migration
is essential reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate
students studying this topic.
