In Chronotopes and Migration: Language, Social Imagination, and
Behavior, Farzad Karimzad and Lydia Catedral investigate migrants'
polycentric identities, imaginations, ideologies, and orientations
to home and host countries through the notion of chronotope. The
book focuses on the authors' ethnographically situated research
with two migrant populations - Iranians and Uzbeks in the United
States - to highlight the institutional constraints and individual
subjectivities involved in transnational mobility. The authors
provide a model for how the notion of cultural chronotope can be
applied to the study of language and migration at multiple scale
levels, and they showcase a coherent picture of the ways in which
chronotopes organize various aspects of migrant life. This book is
a critical contribution to the conversation surrounding the
sociocultural-linguistic uses of the chronotope, demonstrating its
applicability not only to theorizing migration but also to
theorizing language and social life more broadly.
