This edited volume brings together scholars from various
disciplines to discuss how language is used by, for, and about
refugees in the United States in order to deepen our understanding
of what 'refugee' and 'resettlement' mean. The main themes of the
chapters highlight: the intersections of language education and
refugee resettlement from community-based adult programs to
elementary school classrooms; the language (of) resettlement
policies and politics in the United States at both the national
level and at the local level focusing on the agencies and
organizations that support refugees; the discursive constructions
of refugee-hood that are promulgated through the media,
resettlement agencies, and even the refugees themselves. This
volume is highly relevant to current political debates of
immigration, human rights, and education, and will be of interest
to researchers of applied linguistics, sociolinguistics,
anthropology, and cultural studies.
