The Role of Immigrants’ Language Skills in Perceived Community Quality of Life and Trust in Institutions
Proficiency in the language of the receiving society is widely recognized as an important aspect of immigrants’ inclusion, but there is limited research on the associations among immigrants’ language proficiency, quality of life, and trust in institutions. We drew on a large-scale quantitative survey of immigrants in Iceland (N=2,139) and conducted two regression analyses to examine associations between immigrants’ self-reported proficiency in Ic…
Digitally Connected Migrants and Their Investment in Learning a Small Language
Migrants today, described by Dana Diminescu as connected migrants, sustain continuous ties across borders. This article examines how transnational digital connectedness relates to migrants’ investment in learning smaller languages. Focusing on Iceland, a small‐language context where English functions widely as a lingua franca, this study integrates digital migration research with sociolinguistic theories of linguistic investment. Using a mixed‐me…
Latvian National Identity in the Post-heroic Era
In recent years, commemorative practices in Europe have changed, and the historiography uses the term “post-heroic” to describe the transformation in memory-making. Post-heroism signifies when public recognition is no longer attributed to heroic deeds but to the victims of conflicts and wars.. These recent transformations in European commemorative practices are a challenge to the idea of a united European identity because an identity based on a n…
Arab Muslim Immigrant Women in Iceland
The present study explores the perceptions and the experiences of Arab Muslim immigrant women who immigrated from Arab countries to live in Iceland. This study focuses on the main challenges and obstacles faced by Arab Muslim immigrant women and how these factors continue to affect their adaptation into Icelandic society. I explore how Arab women identified themselves and how the new environment and the socio-cultural values impacted their integr…
Spatial mobility and tolerance towards immigrants
While the profound effects of spatial mobility on social structures and patterns of interactions have long been recognized, the association of mobility experiences and tolerance towards immigrants has received limited attention. In this paper, we examine such patterns in Iceland, a country with a long history of emigration and return migration of the local population but a recent surge in international immigration. We find in-migrants and locals …

Latvia's Vanished National Heroes
The nineteenth century saw the invention of the national hero. His main function was to serve as an ideal for the nation. Latvia, however, is an exception to this general rule: after it regained independence in 1990, the national hero simply disappeared and no heroic image emerged. On the contrary, it was now the victim that became the emblem of Latvia’s regained independence. The country, of course, did not lack “heroes,” for there were in fact …

The Memory of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
In memory of Alina Margolis-Edelman ABSTRACT The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (1943) is the symbol of the heroism of the Jews during the Holocaust. For decades after the war it has been central for commemorating the Jewish victims. The symbolic meaning of the Uprising has led in the past sixty years to a wide and lively discussion about the meaning of the symbol, for it has often been used to support or justify different political or moral arguments. T…
