- Information
Description
This book investigates the social, political and educational role of community language education in migratory contexts.
It draws on an ethnographic study that investigates the significance of Mandarin-Chinese community schooling in Britain as an intercultural space for those involved.
To understand the interrelation of 'language', 'culture' and 'identity', the book adopts a 'bricolage' approach that brings together a range of theoretical perspectives.
This book challenges homogenous and stereotypical constructions of Chinese language, culture and identity - such as the image of Chinese pupils as conformist and deferent learners - that are often repeated both in the media and in academic discussion.
