Abstract:

This book examines the pedagogical and professional experiences of a
transnational group of teachers from the African continent and
diaspora who made the decision to live and teach English in Japan.
Through a layered analytical framework, it explores how these teachers
struggle to negotiate their raciolinguistic identities in contexts
that may prove to be professionally supportive in some cases but
marginalizing in others. The author contends that although
multiculturalism and diversity within ELT in Japan may currently seem
to be more prevalent, the agency that Black teachers exercise in
promoting their own cultures and language varieties may be constrained
depending on the characteristics of the institutions in which they
teach. The issues raised in this volume will be relevant to educators,
administrators, curriculum and materials developers, and researchers
committed to promoting equity, racial harmony and intercultural
understanding in language education.
