What is heritage language, and how do framings and contestations around the notions of “heritage” inform, reproduce, and confound ways of organizing difference and belonging in what are claimed to be ‘post’colonial contexts? What institutions, practices, and
actors have a stake in defining heritage and the value of particular languages and dialects for demarcating contemporary ways of organizing around difference and similarity, and in relation to which social, political, cultural, and economic projects? As co-editors
of this special issue of <i>Language, Culture, & Society</i>, we propose to examine how notions of heritage, language, and race become bundled together in educational and other settings in ways that can reproduce colonial hierarchies even when projects attempt
to legitimate themselves as multicultural and/or as post-, de-, or anti-colonial. Each of the special issue editors’ current projects examines these questions and issues in different ways, and we seek additional papers to enhance our respective foci. In line
with the journal’s focus on how language intersects with power and the making of social difference and inequality in relation to history, colonialism, and capitalism, this special issue seeks additional papers that problematize the production of “heritage
language” as a means for the reproduction or contestation of racializing ideologies and processes in relation to postcolonial nation-building and other political, economic, and social projects. We seek papers that will offer diverse epistemological standpoints
and theoretical and methodological approaches on the question of heritage language, racialization and postcolonialism, including but not limited to areas such as: applied linguistics, linguistic ethnography, linguistic anthropology, postcolonial semiotics,
critical discourse analysis, interactional sociolinguistics, language policy and planning, and classroom discourse analysis. While we welcome multimodal methods, a focus on the robust analysis of language and/or discourse in relation to social and cultural
processes will unite these papers with respect to the chosen theme of the special issue.</div>
