This text is designed for teachers and teacher educators working in communities that educate children who do not speak English as a first language. At the centre of the volume are findings from a four-year critical ethnographic case study of a Canadian high school with a large number of immigrant students from Hong Kong and descriptions of the multitude of ways teachers and students thought about, responded to, and negotiated the issues and dilemmas that arose. The solutions and insights they derived from their experiences of working across linguistic, cultural and racial differences should be valuable to educators in other locales that have become home to large numbers of immigrant families. The text is designed to help readers think about how the issues and dilemmas in the case study manifest themselves in their own communities and how to apply the insights they gain to their own teaching and learning contexts. Each chapter includes four components: an excerpt from the ethnographic study; an analytic commentary on the ethnographic text drawn from a variety of theoretical perspectives and academic disciplines (including interactionist socio-linguistics, language minority education.
