Keywords:
This is the first critical ethnography of bilingual education in Japan. Language and Education in Japan offers the first critical ethnography of bilingual education in Japan. Based on two-year fieldwork at five different schools, the book examines the role of schools in the unequal distribution of bilingualism as cultural capital. It argues that bilingual children of different socioeconomic classes are socialized into different futures and are given unequal access to bilingualism through schooling. While bilingualism is considered desirable for children of privilege, it is deemed a luxury that immigrant and refugee children cannot afford.

Recenzijas

'Language and Education in Japan makes a welcome contribution both to



critical studies of language education, and specifically to understanding



bilingualism in Japan. I recommend it to scholars interested in applied



linguistics, language education, and contemporary Japan.'



- Chad Nilep, Department of Linguistics, University of Colorado, USA (via Linguist List)
