Abstract:
John Benjamins Publishing would like to announce the publication of
the following title in the field of Bilingualism: Invisible
Work: Bilingualism, language choice and childrearing in intermarried
families by Toshie Okita, University of Cambridge
There is growing recognition that "context" is important for bilingual
language development, but understanding of that context remains
underdeveloped. This innovative study, spanning the fields of
bilingualism, ethnicity and family studies, shows how language use in
intermarried families is deeply intertwined with the experience of
everyday childrearing, in specific socio-historical contexts. This is
why, despite good intentions, expert advice and effort,
bilingual-child rearing often encounters difficulties. Conversely,
drawing on in-depth interviews of twenty eight Japanese mother -
British father families in the UK, the study uses a focus on language
issues to portray actual childrearing dynamics and "situated
ethnicity" in intermarried families. Presenting a vivid picture of the
"invisible work" of mothers in these families, and how they attempt to
resolve conflicting pressures and demands over childrearing, language
and education, the author shows the importance of "recognition" and
shared responsibility. This book will interest researchers,
practitioners and parents interested in bilingualism, ethnically
diverse families and multicultural education.
