Abstract:

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.
