“…Despite the fact that there had been notable and public examples of racism and Islamophobia in the province, there was very little evidence of any government official speaking out against incidents of hate in this province (see Cooke, 2020;Emera, 2017;Dixit, 2019;Mullings et al, 2018;Tobin, 2019;Whiffen, 2021). In his letter, Minister Davis again outlined the government's active efforts 'to acknowledge and celebrate diverse cultural, religious, and national holidays', and other multi-cultural and diversity initiatives, including a diversity calendar (see Haque, 2012 for critiques of multi-culturalism).…”

This book is divided into four parts: Key concepts (part I); Contemporary political discourses on Islamophobia (part II); Media practices (part III); and Responding to Islamophobia, extremism and radicalisation (part IV). In this introductory chapter, we discuss the scope and shattered boundaries of Islamophobia as both a concept and a sociopolitical reality. We then attempt a definition of Islamophobia's theoretical and pragmatic dimensions. This conceptual chapter brings together an anthropologist and a communication scholar to consider whether and to what extent Islamophobia is a form of violent radicalisation. This will serve as a background against which we will present the fifteen chapters of this collective book, which relate interdisciplinary research, media content analyses, media discourse analysis, ethnographic research, intersectoral advocacy work and action research conducted

“…The Canadian government argues that "knowledge of an official language is a crucial prerequisite to social integration" and that proficiency in a host country language increases "non-native speakers' confidence and sense of affiliation" (Government of Canada, 2010, Evaluation of the Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada [LINC] Program section). Not only the government, but critical social research (Haque, 2012;Li, 2003) and second language acquisition research (Gumperz, 1982;Peirce, 1995) also recognize that a link exists between language acquisition and identity development. For this reason, social integration of immigrants is a concern for language teachers and language program planners, as well as policy makers more broadly.…”

New Horizons in Adult Education and Human Resource Development

Attending to immigrants' social integration is a complex challenge for adult educators in ordinary times, and the complexity has significantly increased with the COVID‐19 pandemic. This exploratory paper begins by outlining four aspects of social integration: forming social networks, developing a sense of belonging, linking social integration to the workplace, and language learning. Working within an intersectionality framework that foregrounds migrants' experiences of discrimination, this paper reveals ways that migrants have experienced increased discrimination and inequality in their social integration since the COVID‐19 pandemic began. Recommendations are made regarding tending to migrants' physical and psychosocial needs, countering discriminatory attitudes with empathy, addressing the digital divide, and using intersectionality to empirically examine migrant experiences.

“…Moreover, this was typical even for the societies characterized by a limited level of literacy 16 . Accordingly, this means that the printed word in the language has been a prerequisite for the formation of national communities 17 , as a result of which language is a marker of national borders and a convenient way to construct national communities, which promotes both ethnolinguistic segregation and assimilation 18 .…”

Ethnicity, identity, statehood and culture as factors of language development and language policy: theoretical context

The article is devoted to analyzing the relationship between language and language policy, on one hand, and ethnicity, identity, statehood and culture, on the other hand. On this basis, the author expanded theoretical understanding of the issues of language and politics, language in politics and politics in language, and thus the problem of relationship between language and politics. It was argued that the relationship studied is always multifaceted and almost never is subjected to one-vector systematization, since language is politicized very often. In general, it was stated that the official means of communication, which have historically been and still remain national or ethnic languages, are characterized by both advantages and disadvantages. However, language is inextricably linked to culture, ethnicity and identity, and the latter ones are linked to the economy. Therefore, language is not only a means of communication and an element of culture, but also a socio-political tool.
