Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. 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 embeddedfrancophones 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 politicalpower. The result has been an erasure both of francophone mobilities and of their contribution to the rootedcommunity 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 fornational structures and discourses to produce the francophonenation. By following the ideological tensions between language as a skill and language as a marker of belonging, the authorspresent grounded evidence of how the globalized new economy challenges the nation-state, and how mobilities and immobilities are co-constructed. An ethnographic investigation of language, nationalism, mobility and political economyset across francophone Canada. The book 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.
