Abstract:

This book employs a narrative policy portraiture approach to recenter
the stories of the Chinese community involved in the Lau v. Nichols
court case of 1974. This seminal Supreme Court case ruled that the
failure to provide adequate and accessible instruction to
approximately 1800 students of Chinese ancestry denied them the
opportunity to participate in public education and constituted a
discrimination on the basis of national origin. While much has been
written on language education policy changes for emergent bilinguals
in the US, the perspectives of the key actors involved in the case are
rarely heard. This book brings Chinese and Chinese American voices to
the forefront, placing the participants within the retrospective
social context as they reach their own conclusions about the process
and outcomes of the case. It draws upon research in language policy
and Asian American studies and invites readers to imagine the social
futures and possibilities for what Lau v. Nichols means for the 21st
century and beyond. The volume fills a significant gap in narration,
representation and retrospective research and will be of interest to
graduate students and researchers in Asian American studies, bilingual
education, educational policy and leadership, as well as teachers,
school administrators and policymakers.
