Reseña. Language and muslim immigrant childhoods: The politics of belonging, por M.I. García-Sánchez

Abstract

García-Sánchez shows, through an extensive and rich ethnographic study of Vallenuevo, a small town southeast of Madrid, how Moroccan immigrant children manage the politics of 'belonging' in their daily interactions in various areas of their lives. Through a clear and precise introduction, seven chapters and a conclusion, the author brings us the reality of the daily lives of these children by showing how they are able to navigate politics, both local and transnational, of inclusion or exclusion during a moment of historical and political 'crisis' concerning integration models, accompanied by fear and suspicion against the Muslim population.
