Abstract:

This book explores the everyday reading and writing experiences of children
from Chinese families living in Britain. Using an ethnographic approach, the
author presents in-depth case studies of three migrant children, all of whom
received some education in mainland China before moving to Britain. The
theoretical framework is based on the New Literacy Studies approach and the
author introduces a new conceptual and analytical term: the «Literacy Events
Network».

The study investigates the links between the children’s social domains,
identities and multilingual practices, exploring the power relations in which
they are embedded and the ways they perceive themselves as they engage in
literacy activities that connect their lives in Britain with China. The
findings indicate that the children are not passive participants in the
process of migration. Mediated by their parents and friends, they take part in
a wide variety of literacy activities across multiple social settings, both
online and offline. The book provides valuable insights into the uses and
meanings of literacy for these children and opens up avenues for further
research into the experiences of Chinese communities in Britain.
