Abstract:

This book is an ethnography of labor mobility and its challenges to the idea
of the nation. Using the example of francophone Canada, it examines how social
difference-race, ethnicity, language, gender-has been used to sort out who
must (or can) be mobile and who must (or can) remain in place in the
organization of global circulation of human and natural resources. It argues
that "francophone Canada" can best be understood as an ethnoclass category
that has embedded francophones into specific forms of labor mobility since the
beginnings of European colonization, even as their social difference has been
constructed as national in the interests of gaining political power. The
result has been an erasure both of francophone mobilities and of their
contribution to the rooted community that lies at the heart of the idea of the
nation, and of francophone capacity to resist economic marginalization and
exploitation. By following French Canadian workers back and forth between
eastern and central Canada and the frontiers of the Canadian northwest,
Sustaining the Nation explores how contemporary forms of labor mobility make
it increasingly difficult for national structures and discourses to produce
the francophone nation. By following the ideological tensions between language
as a skill and language as a marker of belonging, the authors present grounded
evidence of how the globalized new economy challenges the nation-state, and
how mobilities and immobilities are co-constructed.
