FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

This book provides a contemporary overview of work in critical ethnography that focuses on language and race/ism in education, as well as cutting edge examples of recent critical ethnographic studies addressing these issues. The studies in this book, while centred primarily on the North American context, have wide international significance and interdisciplinary reach and address a range of educational contexts across K-12 education and less formal educational settings. They explore the racialized construction, positioning and experiences of bi/multilingual students, and the implications of this for educational policy, pedagogy and practice. The chapters draw on a range of critical theoretical perspectives, including CRT, LatCrit, Indigenous epistemologies and bilingual education; they also address significant methodological questions that arise when undertaking critical ethnographic work, including the key issues of positionality and critical reflexivity.

Review

In their timely, highly engaging collection, May and Caldas bring together theoretically informed and empirically grounded critical ethnographic studies from a range of educational contexts in the US and elsewhere by internationally recognized scholars. A must-read for all interested in advancing understandings of language, race, and (in)equality in education. * Kendall A. King, University of Minnesota, USA *This volume is an innovative and vital contribution focusing on critical ethnographic research in education. By focusing on language and racism in schooling, informed by socio- and educational linguistics, the chapters are a novel addition to the published landscape. This is an exciting book! * David Cassels Johnson, University of Iowa, USA *Through this book's vision for critical ethnography, researchers, teacher educators, and educators in K-12 settings are challenged to look within and re-examine how we interpret and meet the needs of students and communities with them and not for them [...] As a White woman aspiring to be a teacher educator and scholar activist working in collaboration with culturally and linguistically diverse youth and communities, I found this book to be essential reading. * Laura Meinzen, University of Colorado Boulder, USA, Anthropology & Education Quarterly, 2024 *This book would be ideal for new researchers who have a minoritized language background. It offers a way to challenge the way academic writing and research is typically done and to critically reflect on our own ways of knowing and understanding. For researchers who are unsure if there is a space for them in academia, this book welcomes them with open arms. * Brenda Ortiz Torres, University of Colorado Boulder, USA, Language and Education 2023 *
