This book provides a unique perspective into the world of
supplementary schooling, exploring both the social positioning of
these schools and the ethnic minority communities they serve. The
author presents a close examination of the establishment and
functioning of supplementary schools which offers a fresh and novel
insight into acculturation processes. Drawing on empirical data
gathered from staff interviews, classroom observations and
interactive recordings, this book explores the operation of
supplementary schools as sites of identity construction where the
community identities are preserved, defended, renegotiated and
reconstructed. The various modes of construction are indicative of
the acculturation experiences of ethnic minority communities and
the ways in which these communities negotiate residence in one
country whilst having roots in another. This book therefore offers
a revealing conceptualization of supplementary schools, not merely
as educational spaces, but socio-political enterprises that are
situated within and respond to various historical, social and
political contexts. This pioneering work will appeal to students
and scholars in the fields of education, migration and identity.
