Abstract:

This book examines the intersectionality of gendered, religious identity among
Muslim women in Catalonia, and illustrates how this identity is brokered
through language use in a multilingual and diasporic context. Drawing on a
mixed methods study of 1st and 2nd generation immigrant women, this book also
examines how acculturation is a transgenerational process reflected in
linguistic behavior. Through the use of questionnaire and interview data, the
author constructs a story about informants’ experiences navigating life
vis-à-vis language use; specifically through the use of Spanish, Catalan and
native/heritage languages. This book offers a unique lens through which we can
further our understanding of the role of language in the acculturation process
in Catalonia. It adds to the ongoing discussion about language and migration
in Catalonia and provides a valuable contribution to debates about immigrant
women’s language learning and use.
