abstract: 'We present findings from an anthropological field study on the role of
|
|
|
|
language and language policy in migration from Poland to Norway, and the
|
|
|
|
larger implications for emerging language and immigration policy in
|
|
|
|
Europe. Initial fieldwork in Norway found that Polish workers without
|
|
|
|
knowledge of the Norwegian language struggled to secure employment in
|
|
|
|
the formal economy. The 2008 financial crisis intensified competition in
|
|
|
|
the labour market and underscored fluency in Norwegian as a means of
|
|
|
|
discriminating among workers. Comparative case studies of language
|
|
|
|
schools revealed that these organizations are active participants in
|
|
|
|
channeling Polish migrants'' movements into a segmented labour market,
|
|
|
|
often in ways that involve cooperation between private companies and the
|
|
|
|
State. We frame the Norwegian case within the larger context of Europe
|
|
|
|
and the trend there toward favoring integration over multiculturalism.
|
|
|
|
The emergence of restrictive language policies in Europe may be
|
|
|
|
interpreted as a legally and culturally acceptable means for
|
|
|
|
discouraging access to rights associated with permanent residency or
|
|
|
|
citizenship by work migrants from CEE countries, while at the same time
|
|
|
|
permitting them access to the labour market for temporary work. The
|
|
|
|
long-term consequences of such policies for European society are
|
|
|
|
uncertain.'
