| Book Description | This revealing analysis of everyday language use among Moroccan immigrant children in Spain explores their cultural and linguistic life-worlds as they develop a hybrid, yet coherent, sense of identity in their multilingual communities. The author shows how they adapt to the local ambivalence toward Muslim culture and increased surveillance by Spanish authorities. * Offers ground-breaking research from linguistic anthropology charting the politics of childhood in Muslim immigrant communities in Spain * Illuminates the contemporary debates concerning assimilation and alienation in Europe s immigrant Muslim and North African populations * Provides an integrated blend of theory and empirical ethnographic data * Enriches recent research on immigrant children with analyses of their sense of belonging, communicative practices, and emerging processes of identification. |
| Editorial Review | €œOverall, Garcia-Sanchez presents linguistic analysis and data in a way that balances sophistication of argument with clarity and accessibility to those without extensive linguistic training. As a result, this monograph should be appealing both to seasoned scholars and undergraduate students in linguistics and linguistic anthropology, as well as to cultural anthropologists and social scientists interested in Europe, migration, and childhood.€ Anthropos, 1 October 2015. "Garcia-Sanchez s book adds to the current literature on socialization, identity construction, and immigration by showing how these larger issues can have direct impact on how the children of immigrants perceive themselves as accepted members of their societies." - Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, 18 May 2015 |
