Frontmatter -- Contents -- Contributors -- 1. Sociolinguistic Perspectives on Migration Control: An Introduction -- 2. Migrants from Other States of the Former Yugoslavia in Slovene Language Policy: Past, Present and Future -- 3. Resisting Discriminatory Immigration Procedures and Practices in the UK and Pakistan: A Discourse-Ethnographic Approach to Exploring Migration Literacies -- 4. Biography as Political Tool: The Case of the Dreamers -- 5. Moving for a Better Life: Negotiating Fitting in and Belonging in Modern Diasporas -- 6. Building ‘Fortress Europe’: Legitimizing Exclusion from Basic Human Rights -- 7. ‘Youth should be sent here to absorb Zionism’: Jewish Farmers and Thai Migrant Workers in Southern Israel -- Index
Summary: In the midst of an international crisis in migration policy – widely referred to as a ‘refugee crisis’ – this book brings together timely analyses of the manifold and yet specific ways in which migration affects globalized societies, set against the background of the rise of nationalist and populist movements. The voices of migrants and refugees are rarely heard in this context: usually, they are debated about, summarised and reported but their agency is denied. Each contribution to this volume adds an empirical perspective to our understanding of how language relates to migration in a specific national context. The chapters use innovative combinations of multimodal, qualitative and quantitative analyses to examine a broad range of genres and data related to the voices of migrants and reporting about migrants.
