520    "Language and Migration explores the relationship between 
       language and migration through real-world case studies 
       from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle East 
       and New Zealand. Each chapter looks at different forms of 
       migration and the language and literacy practices which 
       sustain, extend or curb those migrations. Individual 
       trajectories, family networks and societal level policy 
       are examined through an interdisciplinary perspective on 
       empires and colonialism, transnationalism and 
       globalisation. 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 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 effects our understandings of asylum, immigration
       and social cohesion. This unique approach to understanding
       the complexities of language and migration is 
       groundbreaking in it its sense of history when relating 
       the generational consequences of migration. The voices of 
       pioneer migrants are explored alongside the contemporary 
       experiences of recent migrants and the intergenerational 
       trajectories of family members are illuminated in their 
       writing online as well as their language learning. 
       Multilingualism is a key feature of migrants' repertoires 
       and is dealt with throughout as the book traces the 
       migrants' use of the different language resources they 
       have at their disposal at different stages of their 
       migrations, be that forced migrants or economic migrants. 
       Featuring a range of activities and several case studies 
       in each chapter sourced from data from the US, Mexico, 
       Middle East, Pakistan, UK and New Zealand, Language and 
       Migration is essential reading for advanced undergraduate 
       and postgraduate students studying this topic"--|cProvided
