Immigration and Bureaucratic Control (eBook, PDF)

Language Practices in Public Administration

Beschreibung

This original study focuses on how bureaucrats exert multiple forms of control over migrants, and specifically, how they restrict their access to key bureaucratic information. Drawing on a unique corpus of data gathered in a multilingual immigration office in Spain, this book will be welcomed by students and researchers in the fields of sociolinguistics, language and immigration, institutional talk, and multilingualism.

Rezensionen

"Indeed, we rarely find such accessible instantiations of power as a productive force that creates its own language, objects, and subjects. And this book, this is pretty much there for all to see." -- In: Journal of Multicultural Discourses March 2010
