García-Sánchez compels us to rethink theories of language and racialization by offering a linguistic anthropological approach that illuminates the politics of childhood in Spain’s growing communities of migrants. The author demonstrates that these Moroccan children walk a tightrope between sameness and difference, simultaneously participating in the cultural life of their immigrant community and that of a “host” society that is deeply ambivalent about contemporary migratory trends.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The author evaluates the contemporary state of research on immigrant children and explores the dialectical relations between young Moroccan immigrants’ everyday social interactions, and the broader cultural logic and socio-political discourses arising from integration and inclusion of the Muslim communities. Her work focuses in particular on children’s modes of communication with teachers, peers, family members, friends, doctors, and religious figures in a society where Muslim immigrants are subject to increasing state surveillance. The project underscores the central relevance of studying immigrant children’s day-to-day experience and linguistic praxis in tracing how the forces at work in transnational, diasporic settings have an impact on their sense of belonging, charting the links between the immediate contexts of their daily lives and their emerging processes of identification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Moros en la Costa: The Moroccan Immigrant Diaspora in Spain 28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Learning About Children’s Lives: A Note On Methodology 61\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Moroccan Immigrant Childhoods in Vallenuevo 88\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 The Public School: Ground Zero for the Politics of Inclusion 125\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Learning How to Be Moroccans in Vallenuevo: Arabic and the Politics of Identity 183\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Becoming Translators of Culture: Moroccan Immigrant Children’s Experiences as Language Brokers 221\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Heteroglossic Games: Imagining Selves and Voicing Possible Futures 257\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Conclusion 289\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 1: Working with Video-Recorded Discourse Data 307\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 2: Arabic Transliteration Symbols 310\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 311\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 349\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Archaeology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Archaeology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Archaeology%20%5BHD%5D%22\"\u003eHD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52276381942040,"sku":"9780470673331","price":63.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470673331.jpg?v=1781369006","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/language-and-muslim-immigrant-childhoods-the-politics-of-belonging-hardback-9780470673331","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
