“…Research on boundary negotiation in schools also shows a tendency for these young people to focus on relationships with other youths with an immigrant background rather than those of the majority group [34]. In Québec, research has led to similar findings: Young people from immigrant backgrounds identify themselves less with so-called "old stock" (de souche) Quebecers than with those who belong to a racialized group [1,35], as is often the case for young Muslims. Studies also show that many young people from an immigrant background have experienced exclusion [36] and discrimination, sometimes leading to the perception of an insurmountable barrier, especially in disadvantaged districts [37].…”

Religion and Negotiation of the Boundary between Majority and Minority in Québec: Discourses of Young Muslims in Montréal CÉGEPs

In Québec, tensions between youth immigrants’ identification and the perceived identity of the “majority group” is evident in greater Montréal-area schools, where a plurality of ethno-cultural or religious affiliations often converge and where racism and Islamophobia are becoming major social issues (Benhadjoudja 2014; Baubérot 2014; Bilge 2013). This paper aims to explore the discourses of “minoritized” Muslim youth pertaining to their perceived boundaries with respect to the majority group, considering the power relations at play. Ten qualitative interviews with Muslim youth born to immigrant parents and studying in colleges (CEGEPs) of the Montréal region will be analyzed. A typological analysis will reveal their main positions with regard to the majority group, which encompass ways of negotiating the border between the “Us” and “Them,” influenced by the process of secularism, arising from acceptance, contestation, or even a sort of exacerbation of racializing categorization. In conclusion, the social and political implications of these findings will be discussed.

“…Dans leur quête d'identité, celles-ci doivent jongler avec plusieurs systèmes de valeurs et plusieurs modèles identitaires (Halstead, 1994). S'il ne faut pas surestimer ni « pathologiser » l'existence de ce dilemme identitaire (Gallant, 2008;Meintel et Kahn, 2005), il convient de le voir comme un terreau propice à toutes sortes de questionnements et de vulnérabilités identitaires sur lesquels peuvent se construire certains parcours de radicalisation.…”

“…In terms of linguistic policies adopted within families, another important variable to observe was parents' formal education, which can influence language behaviour and language attitudes (Skutnabb-Kangas 2000, p. 500), in particular, if languages were mentioned or not at school and in which way. Heritage language education within the community schools but also education in the Francophone or Anglophone systems can have an important effect on children's language behaviour later (Magnan and Lamarre 2016;Lamarre 2007;Chastenay and Pagé 2007;Gérin-Lajoie 2003), and the maintenance of ethnolinguistic borders (Meintel and Kahn 2005). The following anecdote illustrates this phenomenon: One day, after mass at Madonna della Difesa, a group of women were approached and were asked about language practices at home and within the family.…”

Many heritage speakers, starting particularly from the second generation, return to the practice of their heritage languages so as to build or rebuild their diasporic and heritage identities. Within an urban context such as in Montreal (Quebec), multilingual behaviour exists. This is due to the presence of multiple languages and dialects, as well as the bilingual reality of this city, where both French and English are dominant. Such conditions provide evidence of how determinant in-group ideologies and stereotypical attitudes are concerned with communities and languages (standard and vernacular) and how they function in the process of linguistic integration within the group and the Canadian city. Focusing on recent research that compares heritage speakers of Portuguese and Italian origin in Montreal, this contribution addresses whether identifying places have an important role in the process of integration within the group, in shared spaces of language or dialect practice, both private and public. Moreover, questions arise as to how standard languages are valued within both communities (mainly in schools) and how competency and legitimacy have been evaluated and by whom, in this process of integration. The two communities observed are very different, given the practice and behaviour as well as in-group ideologies of inclusion. This contribution argues that, as a consequence of our ‘global’ societies, there is an extension of new identities during the process of development where multilingual behaviour is reviewed and analysed for the dynamicity in the repertories of new generation speakers. Our comparison brings to light a central ideology of language purism, and the ways in which it is institutionalized and/or contested across the two groups.
