This book extends lines of inquiry at the nexus of migration, adult
language learning, and multilingualism, illuminating the lived
experiences of migrants in the Faroe Islands and critical new
insights into sociolinguistics from the periphery. Building on
recent epistemological shifts in research on minoritized languages,
this volume integrates threads from scholarship on migration
studies, new speakers, and critical sociolinguistics in examining
blue-collar workplaces in the Faroe Islands. In bringing greater
attention to these contexts, Holm showcases how these sites, when
analyzed via an ethnographic lens, reflect both the changing
sociolinguistic landscape at the periphery in light of
globalization and adult language learners’ commitment to language
learning as a form of personal and social investment. In shedding
light on the specific case of Faroese, the volume critically
reflects on the specific challenges involved in acquiring a small
language in a bilingual context and on those impacting the
sustainability of minoritized languages, including the increasing
use of English, and the opportunities for stakeholders in language
policy and planning to promote greater social inclusion for adult
migrants. This volume will be of particular interest to students
and scholars in critical sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology,
language education, migration studies, and applied linguistics.

Deeply researched and deeply felt, Passing Worlds is a poetic
reimagining of the first encounters of Europeans and Tahitians
during the historic voyages of Captain James Cook. Although the
expeditions brought back impressive stores of knowledge and new
plant and animal specimens, those scientific rewards came at a high
human cost. Examining both imperialism and exploration, Holmes
illuminates the cultural exchanges, clashes, miscommunications, and
friendships that developed during these European sojourns,
including the Tahitians' impressions of their strange visitors, the
ways the British played into island politics, and how the
""discovery"" of Tahiti- with its easy life, absence of poverty,
and liberal sexuality- influenced European ideas. Part narrative,
part lyric, the poems speak in multiple voices, bringing to life a
fascinating cast of characters, from the black servants and common
sailors to the aristocratic naturalist Joseph Banks, a female
Tahitian leader, and an island girl caught in a system of sexual
commerce. Marking the 250th anniversary of the launch of the
Endeavour, which carried Captain Cook on his first voyage around
the world, Passing Worlds is a poignant and imaginative depiction
of a key point in a historic voyage and of a society whose delicate
balance was altered and finally devastated by the impact of a far
different one.
