Abstract:

Incorporating both interview and workplace data, this book examines the
discursive and social challenges that former refugees encounter as they
navigate successes and failures in the New Zealand labour market. Over five
chapters of microlevel discourse analysis – drawing on Bamberg &
Georgakopoulou’s (2008) positioning, and interactional sociolinguistic
literature – themes emerge of narrative, social and cultural capital
(Bourdieu, 1986), linguistic agency, and wider capital-D Discourses (Gee,
1990) surrounding refugeehood. Of particular interest in this study is the
inclusion of a longitudinal study of former refugees’ trajectories in the
labour market, and the combination of both interview and authentic workplace
interactional data, providing rich insight into the multiple and ongoing
challenges new arrivals face in their negotiation of employability. This book
will be of interest to those engaged in research around migration
(particularly those focused on forced migration), employment, language and
identity, and narrative identity.
