Language and Globalization1-137-58754-7 Chapter 1: Introduction: Refugee, Language, and Literacy -- Chapter 2: “But, we are Karenni. We are not Burmese.”: Historical Contexts and Lived Experiences of Karenni Refugees from Burma -- Chapter 3: The Three Families -- Chapter 4: Life, Liberty, and (the Pursuit of) English -- Chapter 5: Karenni Youth, Multilingual Practices, and Transnational Literacy -- Chapter 6: Digital Literacy in the Karenni Families -- Chapter 7: Revisiting Transnationalism and Key Resources -- Chapter 8: Conclusion and Implications.This book examines the agreements and discrepancies between public understanding and assumptions about refugees, and the actual beliefs and practices among the refugees themselves in a time of increasing mobility fuelled by what many call 'refugee crisis’. With a focus on language and literacy practices among recently-arrived Karenni refugee families in the United States, this book explores the multilingual repertoires and accumulated literacies acquired through the course of the refugees' multiple movements. Through the lens of transnationalism, the author emphasizes that despite their numerous struggles, the refugees daily and diligently use and strategize their old, emerging, and evolving linguistic and literacy resources to make the best of their resettlement. This book will shed light on the language and literacy practices among transnational and diasporic communities, minoritized or marginalized groups for researchers in these fields as well as practitioners and resettlement agencies working with refugee populations.Language and GlobalizationSociolinguisticsMultilingualismEmigration and immigrationGlobalizationLiteracyApplied linguisticsSociolinguisticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N44000Multilingualismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N55000Migrationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X24000Globalizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912030Literacyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O40000Applied Linguisticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N13000United StatesfastSociolinguistics.Multilingualism.Emigration and immigration.Globalization.Literacy.Applied linguistics.Sociolinguistics.Multilingualism.Migration.Globalization.Literacy.Applied Linguistics.306.44Duran Chatwara Suwannamaiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062136BOOK9910154821603321Language and Literacy in Refugee Families2523081UNINA
