Book 155 from the Bilingual Education & Bilingualism series.
This book centers and amplifies the voices and complex lived experiences of Asian Americans in bilingual education. Employing critical theoretical frameworks such as AsianCrit, decoloniality, counterhegemonic and anti-racist pedagogies, it broadens understandings of multilingualism and challenges dominant narratives in education.
This book centers and amplifies the voices and complex lived experiences of Asian Americans in bilingual education. Drawing from the fields of bilingual education and ethnic studies, the chapters discuss language ideologies, anti-racist pedagogies, language loss and teacher and student experiences to explore how multilingualism is experienced distinctly by Asian Americans. Recognizing the heterogeneity within Asian American communities, the book highlights underrepresented Asian languages such as Hmong and Khmer and discusses both formal and informal education settings. It showcases a wide range of narratives and qualitative methodologies, employing critical theoretical frameworks such as AsianCrit, decoloniality, intersectionality, critical refugee, raciolinguistics, counterhegemonic pedagogies, humanization and transnationalism. As the first book fully dedicated to Asian American experiences in bilingual education, it broadens understandings of multilingualism and appeals to researchers, teacher educators and postgraduate students in applied linguistics, Asian American studies, higher education and bilingual education.
