This book researches specific aspects of migrant life, including occupational practices, homemaking, family dynamics, cultural engagement, and linguistic hybridity, and makes use of extensive empirical data spanning Soviet, post-Soviet, and non-Soviet migrant generations collected from European, North American, and Asian communities. Relations between different migration waves are not always friendly, but are mediated through online discussion forums, which help to foster mutual understanding. Like all migrants, Russophones seek better opportunities by establishing new homes, revealing intergenerational differences in lifestyle and adaptation. This volume focuses on the emigration waves between 1990 and 2020, and points to shifts in values and migration expectations and reflecting on the evolution of diasporic communities and the dynamic adaptation of the Russian language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ekaterina Protassova, Maria Yelenevskaya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1793638659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781793638656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ekaterina Protassova","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46420189741311,"sku":"9781793638656","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f6d08163-f5c5-4487-aaad-0fc2061267dc.jpg?v=1734633909","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/everyday-linguistic-and-cultural-practices-ekaterina-protassova-9781793638656","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
