Their stories – from work histories to life transitions and professional journeys – are conscientiously and rigorously mapped by the academic insights of communication scholars, many of whom are immigrants themselves. Immigrant workers’ narratives of work and its nuances in an adopted country offer many hitherto muted, invisible, and/or purposely silenced perspectives. A variety of new and familiar terms – concepts such as career inheritance, aphorisms, cultural adaptation, acculturation, and cultural distance – and culture-specific terms such as ganas and consejos are discussed alongside the inherent struggles of identity construction across borders. While the contributors represent diversity in co-cultural affiliations, national origin, and immigration experiences encountered both personally and professionally, the stories of immigrants represent an even larger number of countries and cultures. This volume compels the academic community to acknowledge immigrants as workers whose voices matter and whose sense and processes of meaning-making is nuanced, complex, and multi-dimensional. Immigrant workers’ voices can contribute significantly to the rich growth of research in organizational communication, meanings of work, career studies, cross-cultural management, psychology of work, and work and society.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 225mmItem Length: 150mmItem Weight: 250gContributor: Elena Gabor (Edited by), Suchitra Shenoy-Packer (Edited by)Genre: Language & ReferenceType: TextbookTopic: Society & Culture, Social SciencesAuthor: Elena GaborRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
